[ubuntu-uk] CPU temps

[Pete Stean]

nothing like hands-on testing is there :)

I would agree that I would trust to the BIOS rather than anything else - it
may be that in windows the cpu is being throttled correctly, whereas under
Ubuntu it's ignoring the BIOS settings and running at full-tilt all the
time, which is going to make a significant difference in temps, particularly
as when not under load in windoze my cpu speed throttles back to around
50%. I'm pretty sure there's a cpu-scaling widget you can stick on your
deskbar that will show whether it's lowering the speed or not...
