Normal operating enviroment temperature should be within 0 C ~ 35 C (32 F to 95 F). You may probably need to check your heatsink that attach to your processor; just make sure it does contact.
I have also been having this problem, before, my 9100 used to have the fan turn on once in awhile, but now, it has been on constantly, making loud noises. It also has been running fairly hot. Is the best bet to blow compressed air into the fan? or is there some other underlying problem that hasn't been brought up? Thanks
Please understand there are 3 fans in the system. You may need to open up the system to inspect if there is no major failure. I do have I9100, it works fine.
actually, temperature is totally relative to any unit; and in particular, the processor which stocks within the machine.
my 9100 runs an average temp of 52~C. when rendering it goes up to about 67~C.
i have researched this quite extensively [with some feedback from members of this forum], as i was under the "systems should always run at approx. 32~C" frame of mind when i got my 9100... with notebooks and especially Prescott processors, it can run an average temp of 60~C [according to others on this forum]. However, this is assuming that you have a Prescott to begin with. the alternative processor is the Northwood, which runs at the 'standard' PC/portable temp of about 32-35~C.
great utility for fan and monitoring CPU temps, as well as many other sensor activities in your 9100: http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/
just a tid bit. one of my fans made a lot of noise when i first got her, it was the upper right [F3] fan... i called and got a replacement fan... which made the same noise. i also work with a few others that have 9100 and theirs makes the same sound [generally audible in a very quiet room]. By no means did it sound like a jet taking off, but it was loud enough to bother me. after getting the replacement and having it made the same sound, i just resigned it as an inherent flaw with the fan design.
