very curious... per irc with Kaj... on 12.04 64 bit UbuntuStudio
installed 3.8.0-18-generic kernel which was backported for testing purposes. see: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/r-lts-backport over-all result is that this kernel is running about 6 degress hotter than 12.04 with the stock 3.2.0-39-lowlatency kernel contrast this with 13.04 running the 3.8.0-17-generic kernel, which is about 15 degrees hotter at 100% load and 20 degrees hotter at idle... ** Attachment added: "12.04 with 3.8 generic, idle to max to idle" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1166916/+attachment/3644080/+files/12.04-with-3.8.18-generic-idle-to-max-to-idle.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166916 Title: temperature overheating of cpu and radeon in 12.10 and above Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 13.04 Ubuntustudio 64 bit under moderate load temperature is around 81c under high load (playing video inside a virtualbox) temperature hit 94c.... at which point I turned it off I have tested this with all 3 of the radeon drivers, with no significant difference. The radeon temp is always about 2-3 degrees hotter than the rest, so suspect that is souce of problem. 10.10 does not have this problem at all 12.04 runs 5-10 degrees hotter on average than does 10.10 but starting with 12.10 the temperature gets unusably hot ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: linux-image-3.8.0-14-lowlatency 3.8.0-14.9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-14.9-lowlatency 3.8.4 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-14-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.330 Date: Tue Apr 9 17:11:07 2013 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu-Studio 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20130403) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: linux-lowlatency UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1166916/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
