--- Comment #81 from Martin Ling <martin-kernel-bugzi...@earth.li> 2009-04-02 22:32:55 --- I have just had another look at this under Windows, again using the I8KFanGUI tool. The temperatures reported are the same as under Linux. It seems there are big jumps whenever the CPU clock speed changes, sometimes as big as 98C to 68C in a second when dropping from 2GHz to 800MHz. Within a single clock speed the temperatures are more believable. I even wonder if they would make more sense with 10C per P-state subtracted. The other news, however, is that I can no longer reproduce the results from comment #57: Windows now overheats the system in the same way as Linux, after a few minutes of flat-out CPU usage. There have been several Windows XP updates since then so it's possible one of these has changed the behavior, either by changing the thermal management or by just making Windows run the system hotter somehow. Another explanation would be that Linux was always running a bit hotter than Windows in someway, causing it to just trip the limit while Windows did not, and then some aspect of the cooling system (perhaps heatsink paste as suggested above) has degraded further over the past year until both operating systems can cause the overheat. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
