Just to add another laptop model to the list: A Sony Vaio GN-FZ250FE. This laptop came with Window Vista, which runs the CPU significantly cooler than Ubuntu, the latter needing to use the cooling fan all the time because its temperature rarely drops from 55 Celsius. The NVidia GPU runs about 5 degrees hotter than the CPU, even when using Metacity instead of Compiz Fusion.
I've seen this behavior in a brand-new Toshiba laptop too, but I don't have it near to check the model, and reading all the comments I realize any people have this problem too. When asked, it's kinda embarrassing to admit that Windows Vista is greener than Ubuntu 8.10 on many laptops. -- CPU overheats during high usage "throttling <not supported>" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
