I have a Lenovo y50-70 with the following specs:
- CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz × 8
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M and Intel HD Graphics 4600
I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 beside Windows 10 in UEFI mode with SecureBoot disabled. Then I have installed the latest Nvidia driver nvidia-367
and there is no graphics issues, but the temperature of the motherboard is high comparing it with Windows and reaches 60 - 65 C when idle:
The temperature in Windows is normally 50 C and below when idle ( I tested it) and there is no fan noise , but in Ubuntu it reaches 60 - 65 when idle.
What did I try so far?
- I have removed
nvidia-367
and installednvidia-364
instead. - I am now using the Intel graphics driver. I switched to it using
sudo prime-select intel
. - I have installed TLP to see if it will fix my problem.
- I have installed CPU-Freq too.
Note: the temp is lower somehow when using nvidia driver (57-59 C).
What should I do? Please tell me if you need more info? Thanks
