[QUOTE="rippingviper, post: 915137, member: 101883"] dang almost sounds like a heatsink not completely touching the die on the cpu. and at the temp its running at SMC wont help you as the logic board built in has fan controls to automatically put it to full speed at that temperature. Your cpu is good to 110*C but I wouldnt even try to do anything if your idling at that temp. SMC fan control will help to determine if your fans are actually running or not and go from there. Not sure if your fans are running as you did not specify. [/QUOTE]
