Public bug reported: Yesterday I came back to my PC having left it on its own for a few days only to find the BIOS temperature warning alarm going off as soon as I touched the mouse. I rebooted, went into BIOS and saw that CPU temperature was ~ 74-75 degrees Celcius and CPU fan RPM was 0. Overall system temperature was around 30 degrees C.
I have set the motherboard BIOS to sound an alarm when the CPU hits 70 degrees, and I have set all cooling controls to 'auto' but should I be worried that the fan wasn't running? Does Ubuntu have some sort of fan control built in (that possibly wasn't running here?) My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, my processor an Intel dual core. Other system information (dmesg etc) can be found in Bug #97325 (unrelated to this problem, but I have attached it all there) ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Overheating CPU running Ubuntu? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
