    so i figured it would be a good idea to see what temperature everyones getting with their SXPS16. just to make sure that all our laptops are running smoothly. my idling temperatures are

    Voltages:1.2
    HDD: 40-43 C
    GPU: 50C average
    CPU: 44C average
    MB: 45C average

    let me know if my temperatures are fine. thanks guys!
    oh and btw i noticed something with my laptop. My cpu fan doesnt kick in until it reaches 50C and after it has brought the temp down to 40C ish, it waits until 50C again until it starts spinning hard again. is that normal?
