I checked my case and it has 2 slots in front and 2 in the back for fans, but those are for smaller , the 8cm fans. Is it a good solution placing one in front and one in the back ? i found nexus SP802512H-03PWM available in the market. I'm definitely going to remove my side fan which is the most noisy part of my system. Should i close the empty slots and the side one with DIY paper board or is there anything better for that ?

Hi,
I have a similar problem but on a laptop (Asus X51RL). While emerging my system runs upto 100C and then hangs. I'm using cpufreqd to control the cpu performance and also have lm_sensors installed.

At idle my laptop temperature is around the 60degree mark

Code:

mrt ~ # sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +61 C  (high =  +100 C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +61 C  (high =  +100 C)


Now, all this seemed to happen all of a sudden and i'm just wondering if it's an update that has caused it.

I've taken the back of my laptop and given the fan the once over - it doesn't sit directly on top of the processor but to one side with some copper tubing to dissipate the heat via the fan.

Here is the cpu detail

Code:
mrt ~ # cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 005: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 798 MHz - 1.60 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.60 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.06 GHz, 798 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 798 MHz and 1.60 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 798 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).

Any ideas? If you need any further details then please just ask.

Thanks
