Re: HowTo: Latitude E6400 (and similar) Performance + Cooling Guide
Hitting over 100C is definitely a sign that something is wrong. I don't know why, but my initial temps, out of the box, topped out at 91C. So I guess either you do have this problem or you don't.
I'd still be curious to know what's wrong - I don't think we have a consensus yet. I just found out a few days ago that Dell has started using the Nvidia heatsinks also on systems that are Intel based (as well as Nvidia ones), so maybe there really is a big problem. But I haven't heard of a new part for Nvidia ones. Since I don't know the exact problem, I can't give an exact solution - just the general ones I listed here.
