I have a work laptop that I use and today I noticed my fans were spinning pretty fast after doing some cpu load intensive work. I decided to open up coretemp and noticed temps were hitting 92ish on cores. I thought to my self, that is very high! I decided to really see what this thing would hit if I ran a stress test. Loaded up intel burn test, watched the core temps and it hit 101C??? How is this even possible? The laptop is running i7 3720QM with 16gb of ram. The laptop is not even 3 month's old and it's running Windows 8.1. No dust on the fan's or anything. My next step is to get some thermal paste and replace it just in case dell screwed it up and didn't put enough. If that does not work, I don't know what else to do.
Update: My co-worker has the same model laptop with less RAM. Ran coretemp along with stress test, his hit 105c. I am guessing coretemp is not reading correctly or rather maybe dell is displaying in F and coretemp thinks it's C? Not sure
