Got a Tecra S3 that I suspect is overheating - Can anyone tell me what their S3 CPU temp is at idle and under load ?
My one is about 55C at idle and gets to 77C, running a spybot scan as the load. Laptop is sitting flat on a dining table, ambient temp around 20C. Using Netbook Hardware Control to monitor.

I read your problem and I think the same problem can I see on my S3.
What was your solution for this problem.

Thanks for your reaction.

The gills for these laptops are very small, and the internal fan only starts to rev up at around 70C and reaches top speed at around 90C. There are no BIOS options to adjust the speed, and programs like SpeedFan are powerless to fix it.

My company has 100's of these. All run at that temp or higher. Mine specifically runs between 50 and 95C depending on load.

They are simply garbage laptops.
