    Hey i was formatting my computer, installing some drivers programs... u know the routine when u are reinstalling windows! xD and i noticed the laptop hotter than ever but i supposed it was because of the driver and program installing and stuff and when i open HW Monitor... woa!
    Cpu 105C! and gpu 106C! and the fan was spinning so slowly... i mean its like it didnt reconize the temperature and the fan woulndnt kick... it was like the system was in 40 degrees... it was all relaxed.. i had to restart... and the same thing... that temperatures and the fan was acting like i just turned on the system afte being in cyberia.... i turned off the system... and after few minutes off, turned back on, and the fan kicked like never before i saw a fan kick! wow it felt like the fan of an air conditioner... and then everything was normal after it cooled down... but... weird this right? reintalling the OS doesnt have anything to do with the bios or the theral managemet... im sure of that... what do u guys think?

    Best Regards, JaV

    my GPU goes up to 85 before the fans start to kick in at full speed at 5000rpm(before, it was medium speed, i8kfan shows 3000rpm)

    i would put it as a one-off thing if it doesnt happen again... update to the latest GPU driver....
