    I recently took the plunge and bought an XPS 1530. In light of nVidia's recent announcement how exactly do I go about finding the temperature for the CPU and GPU? Also what temperature range would be considered normal at idle and load?

    Download HWMonitor (google it) and post back with your idle and full load temps.

    I'll do that when I finally get the laptop towards the end of the month; I have a 3 week build time. :( Thanks for the info.
