I have a system here running an Intel N97 processor, which is idling at 70-80C on Gentoo with all cores 99% idle. This is 40 degrees hotter than it runs on Ubuntu or Windows 10.
Powertop confirms that the CPU is spending nearly all of its time in idle mode. I have tried both the 6.1 and the 6.5 kernels, including the pre-compiled gentoo-kernel-bin version just to be sure it's not something in *my* config messing it up. I'm not really sure where to look next. There doesn't seem to be anything actually *using* the CPU or GPU to any significant degree. Certainly not enough to explain the temperature difference. If anyone has advice on what diagnostics to try next to find out what's going on I'd appreciate it. Thanks, LMP
