    Just found a new BIOS F.26 for my dv9088ea. This replaces F.25 which many people complained was causing high temperatures.

    Does anyone have any feedback on this? I have tested it briefly and found that the cpu temp is up 20* at idle (to ~50*) and the gpu is up 10* at idle (to ~70*)

    In other words, seems to have similar drawbacks to F.25. I noticed that the fan appeared to be cycling on and off every few seconds, whereas it was off for longer with F.26.

    *edit* Apologies for duplicate thread...original thread is here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=133104
