>From the initial data you passed to me it seems that compiz was really rather busy.
Also at some points I observed a lot of kswapd activity, so I suspect the drive was swapping quite a bit. It seems like you have a OCZ- VERTEX3 SSD, so I expect quite a bit of rapid I/O ops which may add to the machine's temperature a bit. >From what I can see, frequency scaling is working on the CPUs and the fan is cranked up to full speed when the CPU reaches the upper 95+ region, so the passive and active cooling is working as much as it can. My concern is that on your machine compiz seems to be burning up a load of cycles, so I also expect the GPU was being heavily exercised. I've been looking a various threads on the Lenovo user forum and it seems that even Windows users can push the temperature to 96-97 degrees C when fully loaded the CPUs, so I am wondering if this a feature of the i7 in these laptops. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085114 Title: Lenovo i7 x220 overheats a lot.
