I have Mobility Radeon HD 3650 and I'm seeing this problem aswell.

The default power_profile called "default" makes the laptop overheat and causes emergency thermal shutdowns and crashes.

This happens at least with Linux 2.6.35, 2.6.38 and 3.0.0. I've tried with Fedora 14, 15 and 16 alpha.

Changing the power_profile to "low" makes the temperature go down at least 10-20 degrees celsius.

Any idea why the default profile doesn't work?
