In the last weeks (I generally update to the latest HEAD daily) It seems that my -current laptop is running hot temperature wise, even when it's idle, or nearly so. The temperature sensor (via wmbsdbatt) generally stays in the 80s C, as opposed to the 70s, and the fan is regularly on its "medium" speed as opposed to the low speed. Also, the keyboard area sometimes becomes so hot that it's actually uncomfortable. If I boot windows and let it run that way for a while everything goes back to normal. I've got the back end of the laptop propped up an inch or so to improve ventilation which helps some, but it's still running hotter than usual. And before someone suggests it, yes, I've blown out all the fans/heatsinks. This is a Dell Latitude D620 with a C2D, running i386 SMP in case any of that matters. :) Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/Received on Sat Dec 19 2009 - 20:53:21 UTC
