Hello, I got an Asus K52F recently. I repair it, because the keyboard and battery were dead. I also cleaned the dust and reapplied thermal grease.
On the dark side, on Linux, the temperature is at 45c at idle, on load at 55c. On OpenBSD is near 64c idle and on load up to 85c. With the acpi everything is working: brightness, volume, suspend, hotkeys. These are idle temps # sysctl hw.sensors hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=65.00 degC hw.sensors.cpu1.temp0=65.00 degC hw.sensors.cpu2.temp0=65.00 degC hw.sensors.cpu3.temp0=65.00 degC hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=57.00 degC (zone temperature) hw.sensors.acpiac0.indicator0=Off (power supply) hw.sensors.acpibat0.volt0=10.80 VDC (voltage) hw.sensors.acpibat0.volt1=10.65 VDC (current voltage) hw.sensors.acpibat0.power0=25.95 W (rate) hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour0=48.39 Wh (last full capacity) hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour1=4.84 Wh (warning capacity) hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour2=0.48 Wh (low capacity) hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour3=23.33 Wh (remaining capacity), OK hw.sensors.acpibat0.raw0=1 (battery discharging), OK hw.sensors.acpibtn0.indicator0=On (lid open) hw.sensors.itherm0.temp1=54.05 degC (Core 1) hw.sensors.itherm0.temp4=57.00 degC (CPU/GPU Max temp) hw.sensors.itherm0.temp9=57.00 degC (GPU/Memory controller abs.) hw.sensors.itherm0.temp10=59.00 degC (PCH abs.) hw.sensors.itherm0.power0=5.00 W (CPU power consumption) # apm Battery state: low, 47% remaining, 52 minutes life estimate A/C adapter state: not connected Performance adjustment mode: manual (933 MHz) # sysctl hw.setperf hw.setperf=0 # dmesg OpenBSD 5.4-current (GENERIC.MP) #59: Tue Sep 17 08:43:41 MDT 2013 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 3050057728 (2908MB) avail mem = 2960818176 (2823MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.6 @ 0xec3d0 (77 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "K52F.218" date 07/12/2011 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
