16X Aurora AC16251, CPU temperature
Hello,
I own a Dell Alienware 16X Aurora Core Ultra 9 275HX-RTX5070 8GB-32GB. Its a brand new one, bought it 5 days ago. When I monitor it via Alienware Command Center, I see CPU temperature readings between 65–95°C while the laptop is idle. Of course, 95°C is a peak value and I cannot say it frequently reaches that level, but on average I see readings around 75°C. I am not sure how accurate the application’s measurements are. What would you recommend?

Well first, just a reminder that Intel-i7/i9 mobile-cpu like to run hot-and-heavy up to their limits, and then slightly thermal-throttle.
Secondly, you might want to change your Thermal Fan-Profile in BIOS to "more fans for COOLER operation".

Finally, some users in the other thread were saying that AWCC Temp readings might not be inaccurate. I suggested they run HWiNFO64 to know for sure.
