Bug Description

Hello.

My CPU FAN is always at 100%, even if my CPU usage is near to 0-1%.

For example, now, my CPU work at 4%, the CPU temperature detected is 36°Celsius, but the FAN is always so noisy at 100% !

I don't know if this bug is hardware specific, so I give you my configuration :

Kubuntu Maverick beta
AMD PHENOM II 1090T (x6)
ASUS CROSSHAIR IV Formula
8GB DDR3

BIOS : Cool'n'Quiet is activated (but i tested with this option off, and the problem still the same)

Thank You very much

[EDIT]
I found on some forums that it could come from acpi drivers. Some users succeeded to have it working by modifying /etc/default/grub file. They had to add this line :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_enforce_resources=lax"

For me it didn't work. When I rebooted, it was not better, and I got some KDE errors, and Wifi didn't work anymore.
So, I removed this line.

I give you the result from sensors command :

I too have a similar setup only difference is that i have the 1055T. Recently i changed the stock CPU cooler to an after-market CPU cooler. now it runs at 2000 RPM, which is the max for this CPU cooler. What i don't understand is why is it that it runs at 1000rpms on windows and 2000 rpm on Linux.
Im currently using Ubuntu 10.10

mathojojo, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Maverick reached EOL on April 10, 2012.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a supported release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
