Power management issues on an Asus N55
- by Andrea Borga
I noticed that with respect to Win7 on my Asus N55 Ubuntu 12.04 tend to overheat the system. After startup the fan controller takes control of the fan, I could here it slowing down, after a few second following a login the fan increases its speed again. Though there are no processor hungry process: top shows only Xorg consuming 4%. Even with the system monitor the CPUs load look ok. Is it a power management related problem?
This can cause battery life troubles in general, and electronics is never happy to be overheated.
Is there a better tool to root the cause of the issue?
