OK so after letting ubuntuone sync finish overnight, login out and back in this morning, successfully starting deja-dup manually while ubuntuone was collecting its files, watching the making of Sintel in WebM in the browser, while installing precise via virt-manager, psensor indicated that the temperature never went above 91° and after ubuntuone finished collecting it's files, dropped to 80° while the rest was still happily using CPU. It was a but sluggish at times, indicating throttling. But it seems that with the default settings (no profile adjustments needed), the code in trusty does not overheat (esp. no lockups) can be reproduced.
I will try to work without th external cooling in precise now, to see if this still is an issue there, since there have been plenty of updates since. But I would say that the overheating issue is fixed for trusty.

When 'idle' the temperature is at about 80°. If the CPU is used (merely starting eclipse and letting all the the startup validation processes finish) it quickly rises to 88°. If the usages is sustained (rebuilding a java project) the temperature oscillates between 95° and 98°. If I do anything else that adds to the load (ie. if the temperature is >98° for short period of time), the system freezes, but the everything remains on, fans and CPU temperature stays up. I need to turn off the notebook by keeping the power button pressed. Note that this system overheats /with/ the low power profile. Here are some general stats about this system, please let me know, if I can provide further information: This started after the upgrading from Maverick. I'm currently running Precise with the 2D Unity desktop.
