I have dell inspiron q17r with two graphic cards and I noticed that it is overheating. I installed bumblebee, jupiter and flashblock, I followed this: http://techhamlet.com/2012/05/ubuntu-how-to-fix-over-heating-of-laptops-with-switchable-graphics/ and right now my laptop temperature is 64C. Is there anything more I can do? Because it still doesn't reallly seem to be working well. Fan is going really fast..

I have a Dell Inspiron Q17R with two graphic cards and I noticed that it is overheating. I installed Bumblebee, Jupiter and Flashblock, and I followed this guide as well, but it still got up to 74C.

Is there anything more I can do? It still doesn't really seem to be working well and the fan keeps spinning really fast.

After performing the following test:

sensors

in the terminal, this is what I got:

Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +75.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2:        +75.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +68.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +68.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +65.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

it doesn't look good.
