Would really appreciate a bit of advice.
Very difficult times, so got rid of the Asus executive toy and purchased a huge Vaio to take over from my PC which has been my brain's link to the world for a long time. However, the replacement runs hot and I daren't rely on it for everything we have to do to sell the house and get back to the UK etc.
It's a Sony VPCF 125FX An i7 running on W7
Piriform Speccy shows the CPU temps c 48 (amber) on Power Saver setting, but on Balanced, they quickly go to 50+ sometimes going into the red around 60c
The fan exhaust seems too hot and the speed tends to hunt around a bit - something I didn't realize during a quick test. (only paid $275 for it so no protracted time spent.) Oddly now, it's hovering on 51c on balanced, but it's a cool 28c today.
Goo goo shows quite a lot about these fans, but the house has been stripped of all my stuff and I daren't open it up with limited tools.
Do you think I can used this - even on reduced power - to get over this period as I really need to take the communications and data up to DFW
