[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1648243, member: 24160"] Best advice I can give - quit monitoring temps and get rid of any fan control apps you have. I was an avid overclocker for many years. My first overclocked machine was the AMD 100 Mhz chip and had it overclocked up to 120 Mhz - a 25% speed bump - we were blazing it back then. I've never owned a Windows box that was not overclocked since that time. My box at the time I got my first Mac was a 3.4 Ghz P4 overclocked to just over 4 Ghz. Even my current Win HTPC box is overclocked. The whole reason we began using those apps was to monitor what was happening while we were applying higher voltages & boosting speeds of our equipment to make sure we weren't burning up our motherboards, RAM, etc. My first Mac, an '06 MBP, is still in use here and I can't even begin to tell you how much time it spent with the fans running at 6000 rpm and the temps still sitting at 100 C - that's 200+ F. That's just unheard of in overclocking circles - we'd have been freaking out, back into the BIOS and changing the voltage back down, tearing the box apart checking/replacing the fans and heat syncs, lapping the CPU again, etc. While I have never recommended any of my friends or family monitor their temps, it took me 2 years to realize it was pointless monitoring the temp on a factory stock configuration - especially in a notebook. Again, I'd say, get rid of those apps and just use your computer. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
