Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my
EeePC 1015PX and I've noticed that the CPU temperature does not
go below 60ºC (70 is usual). Looking at powertop it seems the 2
cores (Atom N570) are idle most of the time. I've installed
jupiter (w/ jupiter-eee-support) but it did not help.  Edit:
Meanwhile I've found out that echo 2 >
/sys/devices/platform/eeepc-wmi/cpufv is supposed to turn on
Super Hybrid Engine. Though it seems to help a bit (temperature
goes down 2-3ºC), the temperatures are still in the 60-70ºc
range.  share|improve this question Is this behaviour exclusive
to Ubuntu? If not, you might be dealing with a hardware issue.
