I'm running a 64-bit Mint 15 on a Lenovo x121e with AMD E-450 and Radeon HD graphics.
I'm worried about the high temperatures (I had Ubuntu before and never even noticed anything, so I never checked to have a comparison).
My idle temp is about 60, simple browsing 65-70. Watching a youtube video gets me up to 75. I haven't installed LaTeX yet, but I'm worried compiling there - which I do a lot - will be even worse...
Additionally I don't really see the fan rpm responding to the temp changes in a way I would deem appropriate. I'm attaching a printscreen of psensors for the temperature and fan rpm. You can see the temp go up from about 65 to 75 over a couple of minutes - this is me watching a youtube video - but the fan rpm stays at 500 +/- 2. What gives? (The max rpm of 570 you an see is from startup, then it falls to around 500 and stays there no matter what).
This is all with the laptop flat on a table surface, ambient temperature at 25. I like it being quiet, but I'd rather it make some noise than constantly work at such high temps..
Any ideas?
Also, yesterday I left it idle for a few hours - all it was doing was syncing dropbox - and after I came back the max temp showed 80!?
