Hello I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 and at first I had problems with overheating. I had to install the drivers for the Nvidia Geforce GT630M card and seems to have been solved.

Anyway, I have the feeling that you still have overheating problems, I installed lm-sensors for temperature and after sudo sensors-detect I get this:

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +53.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0:         +53.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:         +53.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2:         +53.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 3:         +53.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

Apparently it seems that the temperature is right. However, the heat coming out of the laptop is very hot and if I open more windows chrome, play video in youtube the temperature rises above 60 °C. It may also be because it is very hot in summer but I'm surprised I had never seen my laptop so hot.

Therefore install lm sensors for fan speed if the fan is spinning slower than normal but the problem that I have is that it does not detect me. When I do a sensors-detect this are modules that detects me:

# Chip drivers
coretemp

I've looked at this forum and many websites possible answers but none has helped me.

Thank you for your attention

    did you run sensors-detect answered y and saved /write it at the end of a proccess? – JoKeR Jun 27 '15 at 18:09
  • Try this question. Also, what is the output of sudo lshw -C display,cpu? – Wilf Jun 27 '15 at 19:29
  • Joker, I've only run sensors-detect. I will prove what you say. Wilf I will prove what you say too and I will tell you as I was. – Garmael Jun 27 '15 at 19:54
  • I've been testing a HDD with Windows 8.1 and is not heated. The low temperature even the 50º C. I will change the HDD by the SDD that is where I have Ubuntu and test what you have told me (Joker and Wilf) – Garmael Jun 27 '15 at 20:06

    If sensors-detect doesn't detect your hardware, then... your hardware isn't supported. – psusi Jun 28 '15 at 00:18
  • Also: My machine is currently running at 61°C with 10% CPU usage. It goes to 72°C at 50% and 78°C at 100% and 91°C with the CPU and GPU running at 100%. As long as you don't get to the critical stage (105°C) you're fine! – Fabby Jun 28 '15 at 00:47
  • Fabby thanks for the input. It may be that my laptop's temperature is normal. – Garmael Jun 28 '15 at 09:19
  • Wilf the link what you say me doesn't work. Thanks. – Garmael Jun 29 '15 at 10:19

Adjust the fan speed with nbfc

My laptop is an Acer Aspire E5-573G nothing else worked to control its CPU fan, but nbfc. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. The exact profile for my model is missing, but nbfc worked fine with another similar profile (Acer Aspire E5-575G). If you don't know which profile to use, you can try: mono nbfc.exe config -r

Also I edit the default profile to turn the fan policy more agressive. So you can edit one for your machine, too.

My machine's CPU sensor is currently running at 61 °C with 10 % CPU usage.

It goes up to 72 °C at 50 % and 78 °C at 100 % CPU usage.

If both GPU and CPU are running at 100 % the internal sensor even goes up to to 91 °C

As long as your CPU Sensor doesn't get to the critical stage for your processor you're fine … :-)

  • As you've never accepted an answer before: If this answer helped you, don't forget to click the grey ☑ at the left of this text, which means Yes, this answer is valid! ;-) – Fabby Jul 03 '15 at 12:41
  • I installed the nvidia-331 but the problem is the same. Although I can lower the temperature slightly if you only work with Intel graphics card. That said, I accepted the answer by the temperature is normal but working with the Nvidia card is note that the temperature rises more and no matter which drivers are installed. Thanks to all. – Garmael Jul 04 '15 at 16:15
  • Try this Q&A then to get the latest nVidia drivers. I'm on 352.21 and they run a bit cooler then 331! ;-) – Fabby Jul 04 '15 at 20:43
  • P.S. Don't expect miracles: on the low end of the scale you can gain 20°C, but on the high scale it's 87-88°C now. (5°C cooler running games: full CPU/GPU usage) – Fabby Jul 04 '15 at 20:57
  • Your processor shouldn't be going too high on those temps. Maybe you should try reinstalling the processor drivers. Check this one for intel – George Rappel Feb 17 '17 at 00:38
  • @GeorgeRappel Edited. Worthy of an upvote now? :-) – Fabby Feb 17 '17 at 08:24

Nvidia proprietary driver is not installed according to your output.

You have hybrid graphics and both adapter always work.

That is the cause of overheating.

Install the driver by running

sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime

and reboot.

You will be able to switch adapters in Nvidia Settings program. If you switch to Intel, power consumption and heating must be minimal.
