    I have m15x alienware. When I see the Speedfan i see five temp indicator.
    HD0 which i think is HDD, core0 and 1 which probably means CPU temp, GPU and Temp1. Strangely, temp1 stays 80 Celcius all the time. do u know what this temperature indicates?

    that's the CPU, which is buggy in speedfan.

    exactly. your CPU is not always running at 80°C.

    That's a bug associated with the X36 BIOS. If it makes you feel any better, mine reports 80C as well.

    You can resolve this issue by flashing your BIOS to X32 or X34.

    the error's in the BIOS, so i think all monitoring software will report 80°C.

    yeah that 80 degrees is just a glitch though it was something that was scaring me for quite a while at the beginning :p
