For the record, with the cooler running, my temps are down at
alex@ubuntu:~$ acpi -t
     Thermal 1: ok, 42.0 degrees C
     Thermal 2: ok, 40.0 degrees C

whereas I recall them being at the 52 deg C point... and the GPU running very hard.

On mains, the BIOS is set to run at Performance level, GNOME has Ondemand/ondemand.

Just that I'm worried that eventually when I accept an upgrade to the next LTS, it would cook my machine.

And this is 650 quid of laptop...

uname is Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 21:47:28 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux. Last kernel accepted via Update Manager was -24.53 which had the issue.
