Florian R, if your overheat is CPU correlated, then you would want to governor the CPUs as outlined in the previous article (as well as dust out the chassis, and if an older computer redo the thermal paste, etc.).
Also, even with the fan at maximum 100% of the time isn't really going to help much in comparison to CPU governor. If you do this, does this influence the overheating? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1456299 Title: irqpoll was not applied although in the /proc/cmdline Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: System freezed with an overheating CPU and the hint "please enable irqpoll option".
