    I got a special version for Dell Notebooks on the offical Homepage. Works perfect!

    The best free CPU controller and cooler that I have tested. Stable machine even at CPU 6X 0.9500 volts. Runs cooler, both CPU and hard disk. Works faultlessly on Vista home premium.

    Works fairly well. However you may want to go to the Author's page if you have a Dell system he has a hotfix version there

    applez33: if used correctly, you definately ARE able to configure your notebook to run silent and cool. Or, if performance is an issue (as is for me while programming/compiling), to run as fast as possible without clocking down too often.

    5 stars from me, NHC works perfectly.

    When I upgraded to Notebook Hardware Control from the original Centrino Hardware Control, it made my laptop overall run about 10 degrees hotter than it used to. When I run apps, my computer would often get burning hot and start the shut down sequence, one of the features of NHC. Never had this happened when I used CHC, and I don't want to keep being interuppted every 10 minutes that my computer is getting too hot and it needs to shut down. The point of using NHC is so that my computer WON'T get too hot. Needless to say, I switched to RightMark, and I am amazed at how cool and quiet my laptop is now.
