I had thought about mentioning the fact that Dells are non-standard in that way. Most of those little temperature monitor and fan apps won't work on Dells. Glad to hear you have a solution that works.
I previously asked for help regarding a Dell computer which had its fan running very high. And I got lots of replies. Thanks - much appreciated. The computer was fairly clean, not too much in the way of dust accumulation. The problem was the office it sits in was just too warm. The a/c in that part of the building was malfunctioning causing the overheating. Once the a/c was fixed, the fan noise went down though it's still noticeable. I tried to use one of those nifty cpu monitoring utilities for heat but I guess the motherboard doesn't support that function.
