Hi,
My laptop is a Dell N5110 i5 CPU / Nvidia 525M GPU
In HWiNFO I have a Temp5 listed under Dell EC and I quite often see it hit 100c+ while my laptop is under load.
While my CPU and GPU temps never report much over 75c under heavy load but when I see this Temp5 reading hitting 100c is sort of has me wanting to pull the laptop down and add better cooling to the afflicted chip that's hitting those temps.
Basically Temp5 always seems to be around 25c hotter then the reported CPU temp at any time.
I'm wondering if this is a VRM chip reporting those temps?
Any insight as to what Temp5 is asociated with.
The only reason I'm having a guess that it's a vrm reporting that temp.
I have a Desktop PC with Nvidia GTX295's and VRM's on the cards use to hit similar temps (105c) until I put the card on water and then I never saw the VRM hit more the 60c and the GPU's never hit 55c since.
