    Hi, i'm sorry to post again about this but i've found the cause of my CPU higher temps, it's my Belkin usb wireless dongle.

    When i plug it in my cpu temp goes up by 5-7 degrees on more, stop it and unplug it the temp goes down again, I've never noticed this with other computers i've had or if it's normal, i know it will draw power but why the cpu temp rise, any thoughts thanks..
