    hi guys ive got a new inspiron 6400, im not shure bring a new laptop user but i think its running a bit hot. After playing some elder scrolls oblivion it gets noticibly hot, not burning but relly hot all the same, i assume the fan is running but i cant hear, a some air escapes the vents but not a great deal. Is there a way for me to tell how hot this should be(and get its current temp) and if the fan is working correctly?


    this is a bit worrying i know heat can be extreamly bad on computers i wana take care of my baby

    thanks for the help!(p.s. is this the right place to ask this question?)
