That machine has no active thermal trip points, so I'm not sure how it's relevant here. By the sounds of the bug log, I suspect Linux just runs slightly hotter on the machine than Windows does - especially since the user isn't running the closed nvidia driver, so there's nothing to carry out any power management on the GPU. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
