Hi,

I tried to install Maverick 10.10 from Live CD 64 bit on my Samsung
R522. During installation the notebook overheats and emergency shuts
down. I managed to install let the notebook cool down and choosed direct
installation without the "try out" option. But the running system still
overheated! Even in idle (cpu usage around 4-10%) the processors temp
incresed after a period of time to emergency shut down at 90 degrees
Celsius! I checked all, the processor is idle and running on low
frequency, fans are running. The idle temp was in the upper 60 degrees!
Same time on Windows Vista everything was going well, idle temp around
upper 30 degrees.

I tried out to install the fglrx graphics driver from repository and now
the idle temp is in the 50th. While working around 70-80. But still much
hotter than Windows while having a lower CPU usage than Windows.

Why it is still so hot? It also seems that the fans are running at lower
speed at given temperature than in Windows. Could this be the problem?
Running in the 80th reduces my processors lifetime.

The standard driver (without installing fglrx) lets the system overheat
and could damage the notebook. Even at full speed it should not
overheat!
