XPS 710 - High Temperatures
I have had this desktop for two days now and recently installed nTune in order to easily change my LED lights and monitor the temps of my CPU, System, and GPU. I have been noticing that all of these appear to be running extremely hot. I am running a Core 2 Duo (2.13ghz) and 8800 GTX.
The computer has been on for 30 minutes and my temperatures seem to stay at a steady 77F (CPU), 71F (System), 58C (GPU). When I am playing a system intensive game, both the CPU and System will rise to 87F, yet the CPU fan will only kick in with 13% of its speed. I have not yet looked into my GPU temp while inside of a game, but will do that shortly.
It seems that my computer is running dangerously hot, but I also find it strange that the automatic fans will not rise in speed. I am going to try finding a download for the Everest temp monitor and see what kind of numbers it gives me.
Sorry if I seem ignorant, or forgot to include something, most of what I know about computers is what I have learned in the last week...Which isnt all that much.

ok went into the bios and set the cpu speed down from 320 to 266 and problem fixed, but system has been overclocked fron day one two years ago by dell when it got it. has to be fan, coolant of heatsink related i would think?
