    I flashed to the new BIOS already.


    My temps are:

    GPU=61C

    CPU= core0=45C
    core1=50C


    How come my fans never come on? Temps observed with hardware monitor.

    Ahem... probably its a good thing for you :rolleyes:

    I see that the fan kicks in around 65C - 66C.. So at 61, I wouldn't expect the fans to turn on. But how come you stay at 61 and not go higher?? :confused: Anyways, good for you ;)

    I'm on battery right now, so my power saver settings are cutting cpe power, and also my screen is only at 50% brightness, so that may be why.
