It's in a former conservatory too.

It's now a safe Labour seat, is it?

It's a "It's our money, not yours" seat.

It was running at 59c on idle & 84c on max, now 32c & 52c

I understand the i7 runs pretty hot anyway when compared to the C2D and the chap who looks after Realtemp has suggested the stock cooler is not adequate.

I was using Realtemp last night, seems like a useful little program.

My old AMD athalon use to run in the 80s to 90s. Very hot. Not sure what mine is now... (checks) ... System says 43 not under load.
This pc's Phenom 2 is about 6 months old. When it's approaching a year, I may upgrade the fans, and try overclocking, to lengthen it's lifespan. In power output at least. It will shorten it's length of life though! :O

for monitoring of fan speeds and temps I use Speedfan

Does also allow you to vary the fan speed.
