CPU Fans

[astral276]

During the rare heatwave in the UK at present...

If you have speed control on your CPU fan then best make sure it is ramped up to prevent overheating.

I normally have mine in 'Silent' mode and got a brief CPU temp warning flash up just now. Bumped up to 'Turbo' mode and the temp is dropping nicely.

Though why I bother with Silent mode I don't know...can't hear anything over my power supply fan.

I use a separate desktop fan (is that the proper term?) for my laptop, the puter sits on top of the fan. I learned this the hard way when it overheated some time ago; apparently the internal puter fan isn't enough by itself, but with the desktop fan I can keep running for hours without a hitch.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
