Interesting. Mine is also upgraded from Intrepid, so some stale settings lying around somewhere are a possible cause (the questions which and where remains though). I'll attempt a full reinstall when I have time and report back. -- nvidia graphics driver 177.80 on geforce 8400 makes fan spin all

No idea. I installed the sensors applet only after I perceived that the fan is working more often than before in Jaunty. I can't rule out that it was running as hot before, only the fan didn't come on as often (perhaps temp thresholds have been improved). -- nvidia graphics driver 177.80 on gefor

Thanks for the suggestions. Dynamic scaling was enabled by default (i.e. PowerMizer was enabled according to nv-control) and running on the lowest performance level 0. Also, as mentioned before, I had OnDemandVBlankInterrupts on already. Unfortunately using these settings didn't affect temperature

Switching to 173 didn't affect the temperature, but the fan seems to be working less often. This is obviously not good, so I switched back to 180. However, I'm not running Compiz or any other 3D apps, so I'd expect the GPU to run much cooler. It would be nice if there were instructions for lowerin

On the contrary, after upgrading to Jaunty and Nvidia 180.44, my GPU is constantly running at around 70 C. I started monitoring temperature as the fan started running a lot more than with Intrepid. The laptop is HP Pavilion dv9340ea. lspci -knn: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Cor
