I am thinking.. hmm.. shouldn't this thing come on either right away or at around 80 degrees? Luckly someone coded an app to control the fan and I'd just have it run all the time so it'd stay at about 90 and then you can use it like normal. DELL of course were assholes about the app (because supporting the app would mean they are acknowledging the problem) and so they would delete the link to it from their support forum almost as soon as someone who post it (Thanks Google cache)... but thats just my humble opinion. I also have an HP and love it.
