zepfan221 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have a Dell 9300 Laptop. I've got OS X up and working. Internet is fine, Wireless is poor, but that's not the issue I'm having. My laptop seems to get very very warm. I can run Temperature Monitor, but I only get a reading from my HD not from the Cpu or Gpu. The fans don't kick on on my system and it's starting to worry me that it'll damage the PC! If anyone has any advice please let me know. I've tried searching for AppleACPIThermal.kext but I can't find it.
