Do you see any change in temps right after you go from a system that has been idle for a long period and after 5 or 10 minutes of use?
Well, depends what you mean by "use" - Do you have cpu speedstepping working ? For me the cpu temp is a strong function of how fast the cpu is. Idling, it sits at 600MHz and with that the temps stay low. If I read a few emails etc. for 5-10 mins, this does not really work the cpu so it stays at 600MHZ and the temps stay low. If I start really exercising the cpu, build a package etc., it goes up to its full 1500MHZ, and then the cpu warms up and gkrellm kicks in with the fans.
I have not really paid that much attention to the temps, I will do and report back, but I cannot say I've noticed anything different to how it was with FC4.
