[TriLUG] Intel processor Temperaturs

[Ralph Blach]

Thanks for all the input.

Here is what I did to solve the problem.

I went to the closet computer supply store and purchase more thermal 
paste and reseated
the fan.

The processors runs much cooler now, except when I am running two 
virtual boxes, and the it seems to heat up.

Thanks for all your assistance
