Temperature issue in ubuntu 10.10...help needed
 

HEY EXPERTS,,
WITH THE HELP OF k3lt01 I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED THE LINUX ON LAPPY..
BUT RECENTLY HAVE CAME ACROSS NEW ISSUES THAT IS TEMPERATURE IS REMAINING CONSISTENT AS 63 DEG WITH NO REASON....
MY SYSTEM IS MSI CR400
DUALCORE 2.20 GHz
2G RAM DDR2
256 MB NVIDIA GRAPHICS GEFORCE 8200M
500 GB HDD
---
FROM MY SIDE I HAVE DONE ACPI SETTINGS..

SERIOUSLY HELP NEEDED COZ MOST OF THE FUNCTIONS I M DOIN ON UBU//

PLEASE STOP SHOUTING!!!

Why is that an issue?

What do you mean with consistent? Doesn't that value change when your computer is under load?

no the temp keeps on fluctuating around 61-63 deg but it remains above that on other-side i burn my laps after the use of 20 to 30 min..
i cleaned the peripherals bt the temp wont come down..
thats not the issue with w7 (dual boot)..
it remains 50-55..
well dunno wat mi8 b the problem but this one..

Are those Fahrenheits or Celsiuses?

I'm assuming Celsius. Even so, that really doesn't seem high enough to be worried about.

Mine is currently at 69 C, pretty much where it usually is when it's under a typical load, and it's been running fine for three years now.

Some heat is normal. CPUs don't run at room temperature.

And even though they are "laptops," they really aren't meant to sit on your lap, especially if they have cooling vents on the bottom.

I would suggest getting yourself one of those lap pads to set it on.

If the temps don't change even under load, may there be a chance that you are looking at the wrong sensor?
The value should increase under heavy load, but also it shouldn't be at 63°C when idling.

ohk
well its in Celsius/
i already have laptop pad but m worried of the peripherals..
but u have stated this is normal i keep ur word..
as such i asked couples of more people/
its not a problem..
i wed like to close the thread,,
