I have a linksys wireless adapter with speedbooster and noticed a change in cpu temps when I disabled the wireless connection. The temps went from 50 deg C to 43 deg C when I disabled my wireless connection. I enabled it and monitored the temps with Everest and noticed that it rose 7 deg C; is this normal?

Any CPU load after re-enabling the connection. Programs may start to update after they see an internet connection, thus putting load on the cpu, in turn rising the cpu temp.

Alienware m17x R4
17.3" 1920x1080 -- Intel Core i7-3820QM -- 16GB DDR3 1600MHz -- Intel 520 180GB SSD -- 750GB 7200RPM Data HDD -- Slot BD-ROM -- 2GB AMD 7970m -- Intel Centrino 6250+WiMax -- Mediacom 20 Mbps Internet Connection

That sounds like some wiggy temp sensors to me. An increase of 7C is a lot if it's only doing updates. I dunno offhand, but you probably wouldn't get much more than that even when going from 0 to full load.

Do not meddle in the affairs of archers, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

What frequency is your CPU and your wireless device ? Try to enable CPU spread spectrum. Maybe the wireless is interfering with your temperature sensors.
