I did use to run folding @ home on 10.10, which made use of all cores at 100% before, but I never experienced a shutdown.
Since going over to natty I haven't really done so much hard-core computing in linux before so i can't say much about that, historically speaking. The fans DO speed up and slow down with the load, but not as much as I'd expect them to (based on what they sound like, mind you...nothing very scientific). Still when the temperatures stabilize at 80-95 C from using one single thread at 100% my impression is that something is wrong since that's 1/8 of full capacity. I can't find a way of checking the current fan speed to say if it's reasonable or maxed out. I'll report back on the testing with the latest kernel asap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874355 Title: Dell studio 1747 overheating, fans spin slow even above high temp.
