fan gui???

the fans on this are kinda powerful lol i had no idea they got goin that fast, ty 4 the link, this program is good.

Just to let you know, it is normal for laptops to get warm on the bottom.  Make sure that there is plenty of ventilation under the laptop.  Most people like to place them on their laps; however, this isn't the best for the computers because chances are you will block the most important processor vent.  Nevertheless, when you are able to, place the laptop on a solid firm surface.  If you want to put it on your lap, you can get a cradle that sits on your lap to keep the vents open.  When I come accross the link for those, I will post it.

Keep in mind that FanGui wasn't designed for i8500 and i8600. On these notebooks, there are 2 separate fans for the CPU and GPU, b ut FanGUI only lets you control the fan speeds depending on the CPU temp (in fact, the older 8000-8200 had 2 CPU fans, but no GPU fan). So if your CPU is still cold, but your GPU gets hot (some games for example), the GPU fan will not come on and your GPU will overheat. Be careful when controlling the temp via FanGUI.

what do u mean, it dosent read the temp for the gpu? i have it set to turn on high at 55 degrees C, and to turn on low at 45. but i noticed where the fans are blowing it dosent get hot, it gets hot like where the ram cover is. and do they make a fangui program designed for an 8600?

I believe he fixed that.

is there any way to set it so the fan comes on high when the gpu gets hot or only with the cpu, because it seems to get hotter and what are the limit temp's for the cpu, and gpu.

In fact, the new version of FanGUI reads the GPU temp correctly on 8500 and 8600, but the CPU fan and GPU fan can still only be controlled depending on _only_ the CPU temp. Lets say you have set it to turn on both fans at a CPU temp of 55°C. You start up your cold i8600 and start a game like Need for Speed, which doesn't need much CPU power, but load to the max the GPU. The GPU fan is off, temp reaches quickly 100°C. At this moment, the CPU is still at 45°C and the GPU fan is prevented from being turned on.
The only possibility is to set the GPU fan to "no change", but now again, it is kept off by FanGUI until Fan Level 1 is reached. Now one could think that definig the first fan level at 30°C and setting the CPU fan (fan1) at "Off" and the GPU fan (fan2) at "no change", but unfortunately FanGUI doesn't let you do this because it wants you to have turned on at least one fan.
Another possibility would be to have the fans always running, but this will likely reduce their lifetime (and especially the GPU fan seems not to be a user repleceable part.
But if you keep an eye on the temps, you still can use FanGUI. Like I posted earlier, just keep the fact in mind it controls the fans depending on the CPU temp.

Your CPU is specified up to 100°C, but the Inspiron shuts down earlier. Consider 70°C as the safe upper limit.
The GPU gets up to 100°C during games, during normal office work, it should be between 60°C and 66°C.

now when you say the gpu  can get to 100 degrees do u mean 100 degrees safely or 100 before it melts or something?

Well, withouet FanGUI, both the Geforce 5650 and Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo get around 100°C during games, so you can consider it as "safe", but it is really the upper limit (in fact, someone on this forum said that the GPUs are specified up to 120°C, but cooler will be better). When possible, you should cool it down to a ower temperature. For example, the Geforce only sticks at this temperature because the core clock is slowed down over 95°C, and the situation is similar with the Radeon. So, sooler is better, and during normal office tasks, the GPU shouldn't be kept at temps above 70°C. The only way I know to keep temps down is to modify the GPU cooling assembly like Madmax5 described on the video board. He's been able to get a maximum of approx. 75°C on a readeon 9600 by replacing the factory installed cooling pad by a copper plate. Maybe I'll doing this after warranty has expired.
