Does Dell have any software that will allow you to mange the fans? I say my CPU temps hit 100. I was hoping that maybe I could crank up the fans to keep it cooler.
What you really will need to do is reduce the processor speed (or the load on the system, particularly the GPU) to reduce the temperatures. You can do this through your power management settings.
Windows power management - disable the "maximum performance" and use a balanced plan.
These systems cannot run flat out at full power without throttling -- just about nothing currently available other than the big, blocky 17" gaming systems with the luxury of affording space for massive heatsink assemblies can.

At that temperature, the fan will be on maximum.
