    Do any of you guys run HWiNFO32 from time to time? when I do my cooling fan stays on all the time. My mouse also pauses every other second in a rythem.

    I also tried a small gadget in the sidebar called GPU meter from Most Wanted Windows Gadgets - Windows Vista and Windows 7 this maked the fan eratic and the fan goes on an off ever other second in a rythem.

    I know the solution to this is simple, Dont use them! but hey I like to see whats going on sometimes :)

    yeah if you dig through the l702x thread this was noted a while back, not sure why but seems like most any program like that causes the fan to run and possible erratic mouse movements

    i first noticed the odd behavior when i tried to use the turbo boost desktop widget

    you should probably stop spamming all the dell xps threads with the 'warped mobo' stuff
