    I have my w2207h connected through my Quickdock and the normal 15pin cable to my DV2500 with an 8400GS. Normally, my GPU runs at 57C. When I hook up my external display it jumps to 65C. This is under normal load, just having FF open.


    ANY ideas what in heck is going on and any possible solutions?

    The GPU may be working harder because it's displaying on a larger screen?
