Why playing Games in Ubuntu 10.04 using Wine makes my CPU Temp & GPU Core Temp 85C+ , also using flash player or browsing sites that use shock-wave flash plug in leads to the same problem "CPU Temp & GPU Core Temp 85C+". I tried to use Lightspark instead of flash player but it still has many bugs.

Flash is CPU intensive because it can't use xv output. On your CPU model, a single page with a flash video (YouTube) should use about 25-35% of your CPU. Depending on the embedded flash player used by different sites, CPU usage can be higher than that. Check my flash optimization tutorial for some tips: http://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/05/flash-optimization.html |

Wine is CPU-intensive. If you open up your Flash should not take up much CPU, and hence should not produce much heat. Though, of course, having many sites open with flashy Flash in them is a bad idea - it all adds up, small or not. You can try to get the GPU temperature down by using NVidia's proprietary drivers, as it does some fan control and is generally more efficient than the nouveau driver shipped in Ubuntu by default. And seeing that it is a laptop, both GPU and CPU temperatures can be beaten down with proper air circulation - make sure there's a lot of space under the laptop, or use a fan stand. |

Thank you lovinglinux for your flash optimization tutorial. Worked just great for me. I edited my xorg.conf in Maverick, rebooted and logged in into Gnome without any problems. Now my cpu reaches much lower temperatures. Would vote you up, pity I still don't have enough reputation. Promise I'll be back when I do. |
