    Hi everyone,

    I notice that the chip(HM67 PCH) of our lovely M17xR3's temp CAN reach 90C went play game or stress test. Actually it's replied by a chinese toolkit, unfortunaly i CANT find the english-version of this tool. But as i saw this issue occured in many chinese forum. You know, i really worry about that because it can reduce the lifecycle of my computer. I search around NBR and cant found some related solution or advice.
    PS: The sofeware "EVEREST" CANT detect the chip's temp. Seems it cant found the sensor of the chip. :(

    Use HWiNFO64, you can control your fans and see all the senors in the R3

    Second on HWiNFO64! I use the sidebar gadget to monitor my temps for CPU and GPU.
