'pdf hot' would be more appropriate. ;-) besides, fingers are not the best temperature gauges, readout is not precise, erratic and varies too much. what i did a few years back, i bought for $29.95, on sale, a Cen-Tech Infrared Thermometer from; http://www.northerntool.com/ they now have an Ironton Infrared Thermometer for $49.95; http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200620334_200620334 for less, do not know how good, radioshack has an infrared thermometer on sale, if you can find a store with one, for $19.97; http://comingsoon.radioshack.com/radioshack-ir-thermometer/2200170.html much more accurate than fingers and because of no contact, no burn your fingers. > Also, I noticed that the cooling fan remained at normal operating > speed, instead of spinning faster, as I usually hear it spin fast > for about a few seconds when I power it on. > > So, I am not sure whether the problem is the fan or the cpu. what is 'sensors' telling you about temp and speed? > P.S: I also ran the memtest 86 full tests of 1 pass. > I installed fc20 after it had reached somewhere near the middle > of pass 2.
