Fangui reads my CPU temp at between 105 and 120 degrees Farenheit once I have been using the system for 15 minutes or so. This is with the fan forced to high speed at all times. I have recently opened the system and totally cleaned out all the dust, and I blow out the vents with canned air weekly.
Is this temp higher than it should be? How can I get my system to run cooler? I have a cooling pad with two fans, but it doesn't help at all.
People worry about the heat of their CPU too often.
I'm actually not entirely sure what the temp should be.
But don't worry about it.
You've listed a model number, and assuming you haven't made any additions to the unit, then the tower is BUILT for ultimate performance.
Dell doesn't go and put a crappy fan in a tower so that the mother board fries out 15 minutes after turning it on.
I wouldn't worry about the temperature at all.
If you see a section of the motherboard burn out, then you can worry.
-You can also complain to dell, most of the time.
But I've only seen this happen once, and it was a cheap, emachine computer which was mistreated and left on all the time.
So once again, don't be so concerned with the temp of ur cpu, because in all actuallity, you're probably wasting your time.
Sorry- I wrote the above answer thinking you had a desktop computer.
But the answer applies to laptops as well.
If you're really concerned, just make sure to keep the laptop off whenever you're not using it.
Be sure to check manually the temperature of the cpu during extensive graphics usage (gaming), and that's about it. Still, don't worry about it.
