CrunchBang Linux

Hi,

I installed #! a few days ago and I'm having a lot of overheating issues. In the beginning I thought it was just a loud fan but my cpu temps go up a lot even when I'm just using chrome, even more when I watch a simple youtube video. My laptop is x220 and is generally very quiet and has low temps. I have never had these issues before. I tried the liquorix kernel and siduction but no change. Nothing has fixed the problem, I tried to have a cpu scaler and tried different things.

When I boot the laptop the temps are fine (45C). Then out of the blue it goes all the way up to 65C. I have even gotten it up to 92C which is dangerous. The weird thing is that I can find no process that is using a lot of CPU power. The only thing I noticed is that all 4 cores get stuck at 2.4 Ghz at some point.

If any body has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. The only thing left for me is to go back to opensuse or some other distro that doesn't have these issues.

Thanks!

Hi!

I have just installed this awesome distro two days ago on my thinkpad x220. I'm very happy so far with conky, tint2 and so on.

I spent some time mapping the Fn and volume buttons and got everything to work. One last thing that I'm still tweaking is the battery life and cpu temps + fan speed/noise.

I was running opensuse before and never had to deal with these issues. I have looked around and installed the liquorix 3.8 kernel. My grub parameters are just "quiet". I feel it runs better now and i get a few more than 5 hours battery time on my 6 cell.

The main problem is the fan speed, I can make slow but then my cpu temp goes up to 85%. Is there anyway I can automate this and just let the system change the speed as it sees fit. Also, I have read about siduction kernel, is it better than liquorix, is it something I should look into?

Thanks!
