NC10 Temperature
Posted: 08 Apr 2009, 03:21
First, I'd like to say a big thank you to voRia for compiling the repository for the NC10, it works great.
I'm not sure what other people's temperatures are when they are running the NC10. I've found that idling on Ubuntu my temp sits at around 43 C, and it peaks at around 49 - 52 C when I'm doing multi-tasking such as surfing, watching videos/listening to music, IMing, etc. It came to my attention when the area just to the top right of the touchpad was warm to the touch, and when I previously used XP, I hadn't noticed this happening. I was wondering if this was normal or is my temperature a little high? If so, what can I do to help lower it?
Just a little info: I'm obtaining my temperature just by typing 'acpi -V' in the terminal. I'm running Intrepid from voRia's repository, and have the 04CA BIOS (if that has any effect).
Thanks,
Ben
