Some of those things may be causing your CPU to run hot, in themselves. If the fans don't spin down when the computer is very idle, then you may have fans without speed control, or your computer is overheating. Fans can only cool things down, so much. If the computer is in a hot environment, it's going to overheat. If the airflow is blocked, then it can't cool down very much. Air vents in the computer need to be cleaned. The dust and fluff in heatsinks needs to be removed. If the heatsinks are not in good contact with the CPU, or other hot devices, then they don't do their job. They have to be flush against the surface of the device. And they work a lot better when there's heatsink compound between the device and the heatsink. It's often a kind of paste, though sometimes it's a squishy solid (thin) object. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
