All right, I've just finished testing this out for about 2 hours. It seems that it makes no difference on temperature when Unity is disabled or not. I guess the issue is related to Compiz?
After running just a web browser (Epiphany) and IRC client (xchat) without Unity enabled, my temperatures have gone very high: $ sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +85.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) temp2: +85.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) nouveau-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +88.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C) -- I'm not doing anything intensive at all- just reading a few Wikipedia articles. Even letting the laptop just idle will result in the same behaviour. Stays acceptable if I just use Shell or Fallback with no effects. The heat problem also happens with Unity 2d (bit odd). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/954594 Title: Temperatures climb very high when using Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/954594/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
