    Anyone's laptop runs hot? Mine has been cool for the first few weeks that I got it. It seems to be running hotter now for the past week, and getting hotter more quickly. I've made too many (forgettable) changes to the PC in regards to power management, a few BIOS settings and physical (adding RAM) to be able to narrow it down to any one thing.

    Any ideas?

    I just ran a test, which puzzled me a little. How is it possible that my processor (i7-2820QM) can run at speed 2,6-2,7 GHz when all cores are fully utilised, when theoretically it should run at max 2,3 GHz?

    I would like to know about this as well... But it doesn't seem likely as slim adapters might not be able to push enough juice for this laptop to run.

    I think it is the same panel, the screen is drop dead gorgeous. My iPhone looks all washed out and gray-looking.. I can't stand it and I might just go get an AMOLED phone.

    This is very interesting, as my 2820QM does not go to 2.7GHz when running benchmarks. Could it be a glitch in HWinfo?

    I notice your CPU utilization is at 92%, rather than at 100% from performance monitor. Perhaps that is why. My eyes keep on drifting to the lady in your background.

    Hi,
    same CPU, and during benchmarks it arrives to 3 GHz with a ratio of 31x.

    Is it then strange? Or maybe I don't understand the idea of Turbo Boost?
    But shouldn't Turbo Boost work only when one (or two) thread(s) is pushing towards 100%? Or is it only Power-limited - if there is not enogh load to occupy 100% of all cores they all are run faster?
    Hehe... She is great singer too. ;)
