I wonder why when I am using Ubuntu, my laptop temperature increases. It's around 62 degrees or less. I am already using Jupiter and have set it to power saving mode but if I use maximum performance the temperature can reach 70 degrees or more. Its too hot if I compare it when I am running windows where the temperature is quite normal at 56 degrees.

How can I solve that?, sorry for my bad English.

Hello and welcome to askubuntu, if you could add to your question the hardware you are using. Are you using one of the latest intel laptops. Does it support Sandy Bridge. Is the video from the CPU or from a GPU card. – Luis Alvarado♦ Feb 16 '12 at 14:32

You may want to try using Kernel 3.2, with the power issues "fix" (kernel parameters) although it may not work in your situation...

pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1

Try it out, I found it here:
