These machines run in the 50s because that what the thermal tables in the BIOS that control the fans are set to. Running in the 50s is fine. I run F@H on mine and it still stays in the 50s, just kicks the fans in a little more often to keep it there.

I have never paid attention to this or realize about long term problem. I thought system should be self stabilize with cooling system or it would shut down or freeze.
BTW how you guys look at your current lappy temp while it is running. Much appreciated for any help.

I don't see it. Perhaps I need to enable temp monitorting from my Bios. Any thought

I use I8KfanGUI. Need to uninstall and reinstall every once in a while when it stops working, but it's not designed for the 9100 so I'm happy it works when it does. Also lets you control what temps the fans turn on/off/change speed.

Yeah, it does have some probs with the i9100 mostly due to the HT CPU and the chipset... but overall a great program and reliable readings.

According to Intel's site, 3.4 GHz Northwood's should not run any hotter than 68C Max... Here's the URL
