I (still) don't have Windows and the BIOS update is (still) Windows only. If I had it, I'd do it.
I don't even have a restore disk because Samsung don't provide one. I'd have to buy a copy of Windows from them ($30 admin fee IIRC) to go through the BIOS update process. Suggesting that I buy the competitors product feels counter-productive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451085 Title: Ivy Bridge laptop overheats with intel_pstate enabled Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Running 'cpupower frequency-info' shows all my cores running at 2.8GHz constantly, despite being mostly idle. My laptop was using the intel_pstate module for CPU frequency governing. I tried switching between powersave and performance governors but they both showed the same issue.
