Using web interface, so hope this doesn't get sent as html!


ok, here's a before and after including uptime:
uptime: 11:18AM  up 19 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.12, 0.11, 0.08
sysctl hw.sensors:
hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=55.00 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.acpiac0.indicator0=On (power supply)
hw.sensors.kate0.temp2=66.00 degC

After sysctl hw.setpert=30
uptime: 11:27AM  up 29 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.34, 0.18, 0.11
sysctl hw.sensors:
hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=53.00 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.acpiac0.indicator0=On (power supply)
hw.sensors.kate0.temp2=64.00 degC
Fan is blowing at highest speed

I haven't had temperature problems either, so I might install 4.6 or
even 4.5 and see what happens, since this installation only has the
bwi driver added. Nothing else added.

By comparison (if that can be done), I booted Debian. Kernel is 2.6.26
and running kde 3.5
uptime is 34 minutes load average: 0.03, 0.11, 0.14
core temp is 49C
cpu temp is 52C
Fan isn't blowing right now.
