Public bug reported: I have been experiencing very high CPU temperature on Ubuntu 8.04. The reading I get from lm-sensors and gnome sensors is almost 70 degrees Celsius when CPU usage is less than 5% or idle. Watching a video drives it up to 80, and heavy CPU usage quickly pushes it to 90+!
I do not think it is a problem with my laptop hardware because in windows XP the temperatures are reported to be in the mid 40s, which is what I would expect. Here are the details of my system: Dell XPS m1210 laptop Dual Core intel 2.0ghz processors Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 OS: Hardy (8.04 beta) with all updates applied. Kernel 2.6.24-12 generic on i686 Thank you for taking a look at this ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- High CPU Temperature https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
