So you may have seen my other thread about my PC running a bit warm.

I noticed recently that my laptop has it's fans on full a lot more than it used to.. ever since I installed Linux. I downloaded lm_sensor and installed it following a guide. When I type sensors into the console now, I get this...

Code:

[thomas@localhost ~]$ sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
             +74°C
Core1 Temp:
             +74°C

The laptop is only running aMSN (which is hardly CPU intensive...), and has been on about 20 minutes. I have googled around for temperatures for the same processor (AMD Turion 64 MK-36, single core), and they state about 55 degrees idle and 75 under load.

Could it be Linux that it doing this? I don't have ACPI or APIC disabled anymore, they only needed to be to boot the live CD.

Thanks once again, Thomas
