@madbiologist: good info on the radeon open-source improvements, but the
OP is (was?) using fglrx on Precise. I'm marking this Incomplete because
it is dependent on the OP's specific BIOS, and it's difficult to tell
whether the overheating has anything to do with the OS without more
info, such as whether this happens on other systems (i.e. Windows).
@OP: As best I can tell, the Core i7 doesn't start thermal throttling
until 100C, and at that temp OEM's may just initiate ACPI shutdown. As
far as automating the switch to powersave based on temp, I'm pretty sure
that could be done with a script of some sort (and one may very well
exist).
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
