Laptop ASUS K52JR. My OS is Ubuntu 11.10 with KDE (installed kubuntu-desktop), and today when I booted the OS the temp was showing 71 deegres . My question is... Exists a SW for Linux that can help cooling the Processor? When I was using Win 7, the temperature was 44 - 60.
I was searching for some solutions like 'acpi' and coretemp modules but no change....If anyone can help I'll appreciate it.

Weel that is causing your issue. The Performance profile is causing the CPU to run at full speed every time, even when the poser is not needed. Set that to On-demand.
