Same here, I dont use hibernate and from clean boot (cycle power) The
system overheats. I've lifted both laptops with yahtzi dice and run
deskfans under each to keep cool, and I just boot into windows if I have
to go portable. with the deskfans on and proc set to perf i never hit
55C even playing games just like it should be.

Again, both systems have pm965 chips which have no way to control fans.

6860fx temps  with deskfan blowing across system, cpu 35c, hdd0 41c, hdd1 43c, 
8800gts 43c.
6860fx temps  with deskfan off,                                  cpu 58c, hdd0 
53c, hdd1 55c, 8800gts 49c. 

obviously, i just need a way to turn the fans on and leave them on, I
could give a @#$@ less about battery life or fan noise. I didnt buy a
desktop replacement to simulate a palmtop or ibook.  I bought it for
power and performance. this comes at the cost of heat. Active cooling is
the answer to heat, if I can turn it on. I know, you're working on it.
It's just a bit frustrating to read the money and excitement being
poured into ubuntu cloud suites when the systems overheat before you can
connect to said cloud.
