Dell Temps

[shortymet55]

I have a Dell, and I was looking around this cite and I saw a program called SpeedFan. I was curious of my computer's temperature, so I downloaded it. I read under 60C is best. But my computer is running around 53C, but thats with 1%-20% computer usage. The percentage is really jumping around. Is this temperature something to be worried about since its close to max temps, but not working that hard? Thanks

Download Prime95 and run it to check your load temperatures.

Is that a laptop or desktop? I was working on a Dell laptop over the summer and that thing got up to nearly 80*C just doing basic stuff!
