My first one kept locking up on me and I had to return it. The Tech support guy thought that it could be a heat issue as was my guess; however, I just received my replacement and noticed that the fan is always running and it is fairly loud to boot. I checked the temps and I seem to be running at 50 degrees celsius at idle. I haven't checked it under any kind of load, but that seems hot to me. Anyone else on here experiencing the same issues with heat? I worry about the long term effect of heat on my system. Is there a fix for this or do I possibly have another bad pc from HP?

Thanks in advance!

Your PC temperature is also greatly influenced by ambiance temp. Apart from this, 50 degree Celsius can not be considered too high for current processors. What kind of processor you have in your machine??

50c idle is a bit warm, but it depends on the environment it is in as Shuk stated, and also the type of computer and CPU. Also, is it being able to get appropriate air circulation whenever it is placed?

Shuk, I have the i7 cpu and my current ambient room temp is 70 degrees.

Jollywombat, I have it sitting on top of my desk and it's basically free from any clutter. I do have a printer sitting nearby as well as some software boxes, but nothing that would impede air flow.

Hey Rick..

This looks me a little higher if you have no load...[to my personal experience (with Intel 9550 Quad processor)50 degree is usual temperature with 10-20% load (with 70-72 degree ambiance temp.)
For i7, 43.2 degree Celsius (Power - 0W) to 67.9 degree Celsius (Power 130W)
Please refer to Intel document: http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/320834.pdf [Page 73 Table 6-2]

Have you tried Prime 95 and checked the temp variations with diff. loads??
