CPU temperature is high on Ubuntu
- by Kaspar
So I have a machine which has both latest *Ubuntu and Windows 8 on it. On windows 8 my CPU temp is roughtly 26 degrees when idle. Now when I boot into Ubuntu, CPU temperature is suddenly 43 degrees when idle, plus my fans are making a lot of noise which is probably because of the CPU degrees.
Why is that? Everywhere I read it says the Linux is much better at managing CPU and so on. But yet it seems something is wrong.
It is a stock installation of Ubuntu 14.04 and my CPU is a Intel i5-4570
