I spoke with the Dell technicians and they said running in the mid and upper 90's is not good and they said if push comes to shove they would look at replacing the CPU and the thermal paste (??) to see if that is the problem. The fan I have looks more like the squirrel cage type on your AC unit. It is supposed to be better than the fan & cooler that they put on some of the lower spec ed units. The issue with the XPS is that the case is very small and unlike any others in the way it is designed. I went with it because it is small, powerful and lots of bang for the buck. I am very satisfied other than the temps of the CPU.
