Another 8510p here. I'm currently using Vista because of this.
Under Ubuntu the fan is always blasting with hot air. After about 10-20 minutes of usage under Hardy (usage = internet browsing), it will be around 70 degrees celsius, more if flash or java are being used. Under Vista, the temperature sensors consistently average around 47 degrees celsius. I've experienced this sort of heat in other version of Linux with this laptop like Fedora 9 and OpenSUSE 11. There is actually a specific spot on the surface that gets very hot and I believe that the processor (Core 2 Duo T7300) is under it. Another possible source of heat could be coming from the Radeon HD 2600. -- [Hardy] Laptop (HP Compaq 8510p) is too hot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
