Well, temperature as read by coretemp is around 60=B0C for the CPU, which appears to be quite high for a completely idle device. There seems to be some second sensor that I'm unable to read out which controls the fan, however. powertop seems nice -- but I have no clue on how to read it actually. Or how to get to know what power which process actually draws. I can just see that by far the application with the highest "Usage" is the X server (around 10 times that of the second largest, which usually is 7,1 ms/s 50,2 Process /usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch -background none 453,5 =B5s/s 19,9 Interrupt [6] tasklet(softirq) But since I have no clue on how to read those values, they mean next to nothing to me. On the "Idle Stats" page, the CPU is 99.8% of the time in C7 mode. The "frequency stats" show the CPU is clocked at 800Mhz (the lowest setting). The "Device Stats" also mean little to me: It looks like a part of lspci (with always 100% usage), i.e. 100,0% Radio device: btusb 100,0% USB Device: usb-device-8087-0024 100,0% USB device: DW375 Bluetooth Module (Dell Computer Corp) 100,0% PCI Device: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller 100,0% Radio device: dell-laptop 100,0% Radio device: dell-laptop 100,0% Radio device: iwlagn 100,0% PCI Device: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller 100,0% PCI Device: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 100,0% PCI Device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 100,0% PCI Device: O2 Micro, Inc.
