I have an Inspiron n5010 with an i5 480M.
The core temperatures were getting up to 105 degrees so I took it apart and blew some pretty large clumps of dust out of the fan/heatsink and now its getting up to 85. Is this the normal temperature or should I apply new thermal paste?
Also, its probably been running hot for at least half a year before I noticed, will this shorten its life significantly?
