[Bug 1078922] [NEW] Fan runs unnecessary

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

My 2½ year old laptop works with an Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T6600 at 2.20GHz.
In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Psensor let me see an average core temperature of 43°C. Most of the time the fan is not running.
When temperature goes up at 46°C the fan starts running with low speed (barely be heard), when the temperature drops to 42°C, the fan stops.
In Ubuntu 12.10 core temperatures vary between 38°C and 52°C and the fan is almost running always at high speed (lots of noise).
The core temperature is not constant around 43°C. I'm afraid for hardware damage and proceed with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The HDD temperature is in both distro's 43°C.
