    I recently formatted and installed a fresh copy of windows on my 2090, being Vista Home Premium 64-bit... the same as was on it before. Before the reinstall, I was getting roughly a 36 C idle temperature. Now, after the reinstall, my temps have shot up to about a 52 C idle temp. I have checked CPU utilization, and it's not the culprit. The culprit seems to be the fan. Once it gets down to about 50 C, it just kinda quits. I've opened up the case and watched it; it will shut itself off at roughly 50 C. Before the reinstall, it would have been blowing up a storm at 50 C.

    I miss my low temps... basically, my question is: WTF?
    What happened to change my temps and what can I do to change it back?

    What are you using to measure the temps? PC Wizard 2008 tells me that right now, my cpu (T7300) is running at 1183.66 MHz, core #1 is 61 C, core #2 is 62 C, GFX is at 59 C (not doing much of anything, a little c# dev. in Studio.Net, and browsing good old notebookreview.com).

    wow the t7300 in this jfl92 only idles at around 43 or so.. thats really high if you are idling at 60+... also use real temp for newer dual cores its much more accurate than the other ones

    I got the same problem after i predinstalled XP, now my temps are 50-55 idle, almost 20 C more than before, I don't know what's happening, the laptop even shut down twice some time ago, 100C?!? , it was under load of course, but I'm wondering what's wrong, it even gets less points on 3dmark06... (T7500, realtemp 2.5)

    Don't know about the JFL90 but my JFL92 does the same thing, stops at 50 and then starts again at 55, droping it down again. And they are almost the same except that I have T9300. So I guess it's OK.

    IFL90 Bios is configured to maintain IDLE temperatures less than 55 degrees. As soon as CPU heats 55 the fan kicks in and cools it down.
    And it is not likely for it to operate in passive mode all the time, the passive characteristic of IFL90 cooling system are so pure than even my outmoded T7500 at 0.7875V and 600mHz (and that uses far less power then any T class unmoded pernyn CPU) super SuperLFM mode can maintene temperatures below 55 without fan kicking in only in the open air with 5 or less degrees.
