Alienware 15 fan
Just set up my brand new Alienware 15. It's been on for about 90 mins while I did the setup, downloaded software, etc. I've not noticed the fan turning on and the base feels hot. Is this unusual? How "long" before the fan kicks in?

install A00 BIOS to reduce heat and don worry if the base feels hot, this is because the PCH is in this area
this is a pch, looks like a processor.
use HWmonitor to look the temps of your laptop. if dont reach more than 85°C dont worry
