The radeon temp is always about 2-3 degrees hotter than the rest, so suspect that is souce of problem. 10.10 does not have this problem at all 12.04 runs 5-10 degrees hotter on average than does 10.10 but starting with 12.10 the temperature gets unusably hot ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: linux-image-3.8.0-14-lowlatency 3.8.0-14.9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-14.9-lowlatency 3.8.4 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-14-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.330 Date: Tue Apr 9 17:11:07 2013 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu-Studio 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20130403) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: linux-lowlatency UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1166916/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
