Woah .... Dells run hot!

[Abhi]

Using a P4 M 2.4 Ghz Inspiron 8500 here...

Running under 100% load for the last 2 hrs + (Encoding video...) ... Both fans on at full .... running at 60 degree celius steadily (Range of 59-61).

No instability though!

 

[Abhi]

Btw ... its 60 degrees @ 2400 mhz....
48 degrees @ 1200 mhz ....

seems normal to me. if it gets too hot, you should consider buying a laptop cooler.

Yep, when I used my notebook to crunch SETI 24/7 for 5-6weeks during a race I put it on my BYTECC NC-500 with one of the fans directly below the ram cover and it made a big difference in temps, having 60mm fans it is a bit noisy though, but no worse than the notebook fans, just compounds it is all.

I ll consider getting one...
