It's kind of a multiplying but I didn't wanted to open more than one topics.

I'd have a fresh install of Ubuntu with tlp configured and using acpi_call to keep 7670M turned off.

I was a short time arch user and with openbox and firefox it was about 60 to 70 degrees; wanted to turn to a stable release just for this reason.

    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1:        +50.0°C  

    radeon-pci-0100
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    temp1:       -128.0°C  

    coretemp-isa-0000
    Adapter: ISA adapter
    Physical id 0:  +56.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    Core 0:         +54.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    Core 1:         +55.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

The temperature is not seriously high yet can be lower.

Another issue is my wifi card, rt3290:

The rt2800pci module is fine and all that but the download performance is pretty bad alongside of annoying signal range and the prop. driver gives a conf error about some specific rt2860 code and integrales in pci_dev file. If I blank off the error making variables, module loads but the driver is unused.

Since the driver is old, I was thinking of downgrading the kernel of raring to 3.7 or may be 3.6.

Should &-or can I?
