    Sup,
    i just got my i6000 back from dell after complaining about hte heat problemes, they say they repaired the fan and cpu etc but the hdd temp is still going up, when i start my comp the hdd is around 37 but it increases and increases. right now i am typing this message, and using AIM and the hdd is at 50C. THis isnt normal, i can game, DL, and video edit on my desktop and it never goes above 39C.

    Any suggestions?????????/
    I replaced the hdd too so thats not the problem
    thanks

    You can install i8fanGUI from http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html and set fans to come one when you wish.

    every time you crosspost, God kills a kitten.

    i'm closing this thread since the one in Hardware is getting more responses.
