Dell Inspiron N5010 Temperature Issue!
Hi all^^ I'm so happy to join you here in the Dell community.
I bought the Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop a week ago, main specs:
Core i7 740QM 1.73GHz - 4GB RAM - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (1GB Memory)
I'm happy with the performance of this laptop, but since the first day of purchase (or let's say the following day as i left it charging for 12 hours) I noticed that it heats and i can feel it when i touch the keyboard from the middle, the bottom (touchpad) and the left side (where the cpu or the fan). And what makes me worried that it's hot even when i don't do any activity, and the heat sink of the fan spins loudly even if there is no program running, and cpu usage was only 2 to 6 percent.
here are some temperatures monitored by (CPUID) after 10 minutes of playing a game called Homefront:
Is this normal? Or do you think it's some kind of a factory defect?! I'm really worried..
Please anyone who has this model of laptop (or a Core i7 laptop) can you please mention your temperature so that i compare with my laptop!
In addition to heating, i also noticed a strange sound or clank that comes out from the bottom side.. Do you have any ideas about that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

I don't have exact ranges of temperature for your notebook but with a notebook with a Core I 7 processor and a fairly high end video card, the heat generated by the note book is going to be impressive. I certainly suggest continue to monitor the system with CPUID to get an idea on what the typical temperatures generated by the system. I also suggest periodically running the fan and thermal extended diagnostics test.
The preceding link gives instructions on running extended diagnostics. Once in the extended tests look for fan and thermal tests. It will warn you if there is a problem.

I too have the same problem. I guess the cooling system fitted is not adequate to cool down the system. The Touchpad as well as the body become very hot while playing games and the fan is loud and incompetent...
This is my first and last purchase of Dell if this heating issue is not solved or Dell should replace the heatsink free of cost.

My laptop temperatures are 52 degrees when idle and 65-70 after 10 min gameplay...The heat is so much that the entire body gets hot.
Dell must act on this issue.

I recently (just over 30 days old) bought n5010 laptop and it's burning hot!! I bought it for my kid and it just burns - hot air blows from the left side and the bottom gets hot - his laps! I took the battery out to see if it was causing the heat, but it
made no difference.
This is ridiculous for Dell to be selling a dangerous product like this. How many people should get burned or suffer from harmful radiation due to the heat before you fix it? I'm furious and kicking myself for going with a "brand" name!

Same here i7 + hd5650 gets too hot (burns your finger on the side of esc key) and shut itself down sometimes. Cleaning the ventilation grill with air and a brush helps a bit.
Not happy!
