(Get the code!)
For me the issue is fixed in Saucy, by doing a few things. I am not sure if it is the combination or one of them did the trick:
- Installing: intel-microcode -> Update of the CPU-Firmware
- running thinfan with the attached configuration (note: you must look for more detailed installation instructions on the net, the sensor settings are for a X201 only. You need to adjust them for other machines)
- installing i965-va-driver
- I also have updated my Bios to the latest version. But this was a while ago and did not help. But it may contribute to it.
Before that I had an average temperature of 80 and quite often sudden peaks leading to 100 and a shutdown. Now I have a permanent temperature below 60 and only a few peeks above. What I am sure of is that it did not help to have thinkfan installed, did not help alone.
I have to note that I am running a x201 and have an SSD. Switching from a hardrive to SSD did not change a thing. So I assume this "solution" works also with a harddrive.
Before having this solution it helped to remove the battery to prevent the overheating from happening.
