I studied dell owners forum and it seems this is it's normal temperature regime. They say all dell equipped with nvidis GPU have the tendency to run warmer than the other models. Intel say their i5 520m can bare up to 105 degree Celsius and nvidia say their GPU is built to last up to 105°C too...

Battery is pretty old but I run it with the charger plugged in. The system is real clean. Just the OS. No other software. When I made the upgrade from Windows 7 to windows 10 I selected "keep nothing on drive C:"

I haven't found any settings for the fan in BIOS

There is nothing wrong with the fan as hardware. It's clean and it runs fine. It's just it doesn't receive command to spinn unless the CPU gets real hot

It runs hot even with the OS not loaded. Just starting it and going thru the BIOS settings, I feel it heating. No fan spinning. It doesn't even perform a fan test when starting. All laptps I seen before do a fan test at start-up. This one doesn't

My Latitude e6410runs hot. I recently bought an used latitude e6410. The previous owner told me it had a heating problem but I bought it hopping a proper mentenance job should solve the problem. When I opened the back cover I found out the device was immaculate: no dust, the fan works smoothly...

Thank you very much for your advices. I think first urgency is the ssd

I got a 540M in place right now. So my best option is to go to a 1st generation i7. I am not sure if this will change much the overall performance. So better to upgrade hdd to ssd and go from 4gb ram to 8 gb, which is maximum from what I heard. Pls. correct me if I speak nonsense
