This is a Jaunty bug... if you aren't running Jaunty please post on another bug.

Unless this isn't already clear to folks... if you don't have (or aren't willing to obtain) comparative thermal testing data from another OS where the problem does not occur... your contribution is not that useful. Many laptops have thermal design problems, or were just designed to run hot to keep noise and size to a minimum. If you aren't sure that the issue you are seeing doesn't happen under all OS's... then it is very hard to say if the problem you are seeing is truly isolated to ubuntu jaunty. If you want this bug fixed... we need more data.

More people need to post information about what their fan's do under Ubuntu vs under Os's where the machines don't run hot. This will determine whether the issue is related to fan control or some type of CPU/GPU heat output increase.
