    hey guys,

    I've had my xps1530 for a while now and I haven't gamed on it until recently. The first thing that struck me was the temps, below are my idle and peak gpu temps:

    Idle: 65-68 celcius [before fans kick in]
    underload/gaming: 92 celcius

    Are these temps just abit too high? Especially the underload temps. I've tried opening up and cleaning the vent/fans with compressed air but no dust at all. Any ideas?

    Specs:

    T9300
    3gig
    250gig
    8600GT GDDR3

    Thanks in advance

    92 is a bit high.May be you can use the software to increase fan speed or get a cooler.

    Yeah my computer is experiencing an increase in temps as well. Was always under 80 degrees with little overclock in february when I first got it. Now its climes towards 90 degrees when playing Mass Effect without clock. (And using Zalman 2000)

    Im running Vista.
    Ive haven't overclocked either at the moment. Could be because of the higher temps outside. During winter I had like 19C in the room, now its 24. Could perhaps do alot but should have this much effect?
