I've got a HP laptop (Compaq 6715b with a Turion 64 dual core) and it's
running quite hot. When the CPU governor is set to PowerSave, it runs
at roughly 52 C, and when the CPU governor is set to OnDemand, it
easily reaches 90 C and more. Especially when the nspviewer.bin process
is running, which means -- virtually every time you run a graphical
browser... OpenGL games also make it run extremely hot. I've learned to
counter this by thoroughly
cleaning all the orifices of the laptop with a powerful vacuum cleaner
every month or two.
You'd never guess how much this can help. Just try it once and you'll
see.
P.S. I've also noticed that the laptop runs hotter when the free
graphics driver is used, as opposed to the proprietary ATI one.
