I couldn't get my computer to boot with the release candidate kernel. 3.1.0-0301rc9-generic_3.1.0-0301rc9.201110050905_amd64
Using the latest Daily build 3.1.0-999-generic_3.1.0-999.201110040905_amd64 I could boot in recovery mode (failsafe graphics). There I have the same amount of information in /proc/acpi as mentioned before, ie no thermal or fan-related stuff. Still in the daily build: I used photoshop (under wine) to do some filtering on a large image. This takes one of the threads to 100% capacity for a while. The fans speed up but after 10 minutes sensors return the following: sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +95.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +86.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 2: +87.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 3: +86.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Now, since I have no way of actually checking the fan speed (suggestions anyone?) I can't say if they are at maximum or not. It may also be a hardware issue (loosely attached heat sinks, not enough thermal paste....dust?). I feel a little uncomfortable grabbing your attention like this, with inconclusive information, but let me know if there is anything else I can do. -- 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.
