as the topic says im runing ubuntu 7.04 everything works but the temperatures are higher than on windows?

i run most of the time my t60p on 1ghz and firegl on lowest freq, under some programing etc. the temperatures get to: CPU 49 °C and GPU 62 °C while the fan is in state 1(cca 3k rpm)

under linux on the other hand same 1ghz, firegl on lowest freq(using flgrx drivers and command "aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 --effective=now") the temp get to 54 °C and 67°C while the fan is in state 3(cca 3.5 rpm) and much more noisy then in state 1, and at last the notebook gets hot under palms where this was not the case in windows?

the questions are:
whats under left, right palm?(under right he gets more hot than under left)
why is GPU more warm when running on same clock?
could it be that the CPU is with lowered clock but at the same voltage as at 2ghz, how to reduce the voltage?

noone?
any ideas?

I just can give you my 2 cents on a T42p 1.8GHz Dothan, FireGL T2
running Kubuntu 7.04 .

The KSysGuard Temp Sensor shows me around 38 degrees when idle,
around 44 degrees on normal work, up to 60 degrees when maxed out.

The FireGl is in power state 1, i.e. running half speed at 111/111 MHz.
Could not observe any effects of the ATI PowerPlay functionality, before
I manually switched to power state 1.
I did no undervolting so far, because it stays cool enough most of the time.

The wireless card Intel 2200BG surpisingly stays cool under the right palm rest.
Only the HDD Hitachi Travelstar IC25808ATMR 80GB 4200rpm gets a bit too
warm under load. The Seagate Momentus 5400.3 80GB is better in this respect
but it's also a newer make.

HTH

BTW,
what program are you using to measure temps in Feisy?

under your palms are normally the hard drive.

linux is quite graphic intense, the hotter graphics card doesn't surprise me.

but it could also be the program used to monitor the temps, some are always off.

i use gkrellm, but i get same temp. if i manualy read them in console(via cat /proc/acpi/ibm/...)

how can i see at which voltage does my processor run?
