I noticed that during the installation of fc20, the air coming
out of the exhaust vent was almost scalding if I kept my finger there
for about a minute or so. By scalding, I mean if I had touched
a metal surface of that temperature for say 30 seconds, I would
have felt some pain.
scalding is too general of a word to use because if you touched
something hot enough to scalded your finger, you would end up with
a blister, as from 1st or 2nd degree burn, regardless of contact with
air or metal. 'pdf hot' would be more appropriate. ;-)
besides, fingers are not the best temperature gauges, readout is not
precise, erratic and varies too much.
what i did a few years back, i bought for $29.95, on sale, a Cen-Tech
Infrared Thermometer from;
http://www.northerntool.com/
they now have an Ironton Infrared Thermometer for $49.95;

for less, do not know how good, radioshack has an infrared thermometer
on sale, if you can find a store with one, for $19.97;

much more accurate than fingers and because of no contact, no burn your
fingers.
Also, I noticed that the cooling fan remained at normal operating
speed, instead of spinning faster, as I usually hear it spin fast
for about a few seconds when I power it on.
So, I am not sure whether the problem is the fan or the cpu.
what is 'sensors' telling you about temp and speed?
P.S: I also ran the memtest 86 full tests of 1 pass.
I installed fc20 after it had reached somewhere near the middle
of pass 2. It had detected no errors. 10 hours had passed since
I had started the memtest86.
I am not sure if each pass would run different tests.
yes, they do.
Perhaps someone can expand on that.
