    Does the fan have to be on all the time?

    Hello, I have an HP ze4907 and I was wondering if the fan has to be on all the time, Im assuming this isnt the processor fan since its close to the back of the laptop right on the edge :S but I was wondering if it has to be on all the time. It will kick on when the computer turns on and then it turns off!

    I don't think MBM is giving you accurate readings. Try MobileMeter instead.
