    I just opened up Speedfan and HWMonitor at the same time, and I notice they give different readings. I've seen Speedfan report the CPU temp as high as 90. Whilst the machine is warm, I highly doubt this is correct. I've had the machine on my lap whilst doing this and yeah, its pretty warm, but its not boiling.

    Which should I believe?

    By the way, that's hammering the machine with 2 threads of Tripcode Explorer.

    Ok, I tried some of these. Here are the temps. I had an Episode of 'Tekzilla' playing by the way, as well as Firefox and Outlook.
