Also, make sure that you are using a good thermal compound. I use arctic silver 5 myself. I have heard that ceramique (sp?) is better but haven't tried.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Colin Law <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:clanlaw@googlemail.com">clanlaw@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>If you use top or the System Monitor I expect you will find that the<br>
CPU is running at a high percentage. When it works hard it generates<br>
more heat, it gets hotter and the fan goes faster. You may of course<br>
have a problem with the fan or heat sink that makes it run hotter than<br>
it should but if it has been doing this for a long time and has not<br>
melted then it is probably ok.<br>
