Comment 669 for bug 771788

hi Allessandro,

I have somewhat lower temperatures than you in the meantime. With my
Notebook, temperatures are down to
45 degrees (for GPU) and 47 degrees for my CPU.

And also your output shows, that the driver actually works good for you.
The termperatures, you write about
are really normal with thep proprietary driver and this is by far less
thant the temperatures with the
nouveau driver. Because with the opensource nouveau-driver, temperatures
would be at about nearly 80 degrees
until up to a 86 as peek. And this will damage each GPU and for the
graphiccard, this would mean the ultimative
death.

You write, that the graphiccard should be rather hotter. No, this is not
good for your graphic, if it would
turn hotter than 70 degrees. I had the peak at an 86 degrees with the
nouveau driver and it nearly made my
graphiccard melt down!!! This would kill your graphic.

This means: the lower the GPU-temperature is, the better it is for your
graphic.

Greetings
Linuxexperte
