    What are they? Are they fans or something? Are the temps (at idle except for downloading something in background fine?

    Your idle temps look ok. Not sure what the TZ temps are, could be additional thermometers placed on the mobo.

    Ok, thanks. While im on this thread, why do you think im only getting 33secs in wPrime with a T9400? All the other notebooks with the Same CPU are getting 30 secs or better.

    Those are ACPI Thermal Zones, on the motherboard, casing, etc.
    One of them controls the fan. There is an ACPI test to check which supports Fan Control, but dunno much about it. GPU temps are fine....

    One thing I would note - HWMonitor seems to like reading some Acer models' CPU temps about 15 degrees Celsius below what they actually are. It seems that's the case for you as well (my system only idles in the teens when I wake it up from hibernate on a cold morning).

    Qaz, do you have any type of cpu throttling application installed? When I ran wprime on my old acer, I had it on high but not max.
