[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1462710, member: 51052"] As integrated circuits get smaller, and faster, they run hotter. The current chips are simply much faster, and much denser than the chips of 10 years ago. So the normal operating temps have raised. The chips themselves (the intel processors) are thermo protected, and will shut down if the operating range is exceeded. The fan speeds are also controlled based on temperature. Now, this is always a fine balance. There are power usage requirements within the product design that will influence what is considered an acceptable operating temperature. This is especially true on mobile devices, which is why no one markets them as "laptops” anymore. [/QUOTE]
