It just occurred to me that many computers have temperature limits set
in the CMOS setup; it should alarm or shut down if the temperature
goes over the limit. So, if the setup allows you to set an alarm at a
higher temperature than it is currently running at, then the current
temperature is acceptable.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
