CPU Fan High RPMs

oolatin79 · 12-10-2005, 12:27 PM

I am using Fedora Core 4 (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) and my CPU Fan idles at max speed when I boot into Linux. I have a dual boot with XP Pro and when I'm in Windows, the CPU Fan idles a lower speeds except for when the CPU is being hammered.

I am monitoring the CPU clock cycles in linux and there is nothing taxing the CPU....most of the time it's almost at zero. Any help would be appreciated.
