its probably a good thing too, my fan started running alot more than it usually does.
i used to usually be around 60-65. last night for some reason i was up in the 70s, hotter than usual and the fans were on almost the whole time.
this morning the fans are running, but my normal temp is around 50
the only thing i can think of is the security update i did yesterday, or the ram i installed orver a week ago. other than that i havent changed anything
anyone else experiene something like this?

upon further observation, when i plugged it in it went back into the sixties.
seems to run cooler on battery power. wouldnt be surprised considering the power adapter is always quite hot itself.
any explanations for this?
