thanks for the concern, its worth everyone giving it thought. However, once again, we need some facts here.
If anything I am helping the situation by causing the CPU to back-off earlier with the passive 90. The 110 is an attempt to deal with what seems to be a glitch. The rest seems like normal function. As far as I can tell from this laptop it is designed to run at (50 C) and progress quickly to (90 C) when *I* demand it -- or I want my money back. Was none of this apparent from the post?? -- laptop overheats when performing CPU intensive tasks. https://launchpad.net/bugs/22336 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
