Do you have a discrete GPU in your laptop? If yes, the proprietary driver may help by underclocking the GPU when it doesn't impact performance. For example if you have an nvidia GPU, installing the correct nvidia driver will do this if your card supports it. Set up elrepo and install nvidia-detect, it will tell you which driver to install. http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect Then install it, and run nvidia-settings to see the Powermizer options. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Further, different drivers will report different temps so you need to be very careful you are not comparing apples with oranges. Even the same driver (e.g, coretemp) can report different temps depending if it's an old version in el5 vs a newer version in el6. Temperatures are generally relative so monitoring is useful to see if the temp goes up or down, but don't necessarily take the values as absolute. > I am also aware that this particular model is notorious for heating > problems, and there are suggestions for cutting case for better air flow. > However, i do not want to try this solution, but the temperature control > by rhel gave me some hope! Posibly i am wrong. > If anyone has a suggestion, or needs more information, pl. let me know. Generally newer distro's (and/or kernels) will have better power management and thus should allow lower temps. I doubt running a LiveCD is the best way to evaluate a distro's power management performance, although I could be wrong. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Overheating on laptop as compared to RHEL
Hi, I have an acer 5738g laptop on which i tried out the centos6.4 live CD. The laptop feels noticable hotter and i check the temperature using something like cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/. The temperatures are around 57-60 degrees when the laptop is just idling, ie, just the desktop and the terminal window open. I install lm_sensors using yum and it installs successfully, but there is no noticable reduction in temperature. I have faced this same problem using different varities of gnu/linux distributions: slackware, lubuntu, mandriva and now centos. By a freak chance, i had a chance to run RHEL 5.4 and to my great surprise, the temperature at idling was 43, similar to Windows(which came as default). In fact, the temperature control by rhel was what made me think of trying centos. I tried the lm_sensors configuration on rhel and it was not even able to load the correct modules, yet the temperature control was better. Now, i am not sure if lmsensors are for detecting temperatures only but also for cotrolling temperature. I am also aware that this particular model is notorious for heating problems, and there are suggestions for cutting case for better air flow. However, i do not want to try this solution, but the temperature control by rhel gave me some hope! Posibly i am wrong. If anyone has a suggestion, or needs more information, pl. let me know. Thanks!
