ive been noticing my CPu getting slower and slower within the last month or so..i initially thought it was an ICQ issue but I am sure that my fans are probably dead or malfunctioning..dell wont tell you this but heres a sure fire way to adjust your fans to have your machine running optimal most of the times

the tech guys are comming out to replace all my fans and probably my videocards fan also..normally a CPU shouldnt be running above 70f, but mines is at 183 f right now
