Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel26 2.6.35.2-1
I want to give my 2 cents of feedback to this issue posted in [arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel26 2.6.35.2-1 : (I had the impression that it might be heating up my laptop more than normal, but then I was doing backups last night, and I'm feeling a part of my laptop that I'm not sure if it's normally warm anyway. Is there a way to measure this? The estimated battery life from GNOME looks pretty normal, if that's an indication of heating by way of power-usage.) -Isaac I do think you have a valid point on the heat issue. The fans on my laptop are notably louder with 2.6.35. Not by a bunch, but from quiet to a low "ssshhhhsshhhsshhh" that you cannot mistake. But given it runs great, it is a big step forward from my 2.6.34 woes... David C. Rankin I'm having fan noise issue since latest kernel update. While system does run smooth, there's a notable increment of noise from the fan that seems to be running a little faster. On the other hand the videocard cooler seems to run as silent as ever. Kernel: 2.6.34.3-1 from [core] Catalyst: 10.7-3 from [catalyst] My system: Linux archbox 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 11 00:23:15 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux ATI Radeon 5750HD Regards, -Marín

Do you mean that 2.6.34.3 has increased fan-noise from an earlier 2.6.34 release? 2.6.34.3 is not the same as 2.6.35.* but may have some of the same patches... -Isaac

Hi Isaac, exactly, fan-noise is louder now. Far beyond, If you listen my PC's case you will hear how, from time to time (cyclically), powersurge or fan, I don't know exactly which one, seems to throttle skyrocketer making the whole cabinet even vibrate in some cases for a few seconds untils it calms down again. I have the case open (both sides) so I discard a heating problem and PC is connected to a UPS so there shoudn't be any voltage/line problems, but the best thing is if I switch my kernel to 2.6.33.something this wont happen - and actually *didn't happened* with that kernel but do happened with .31 or .32 I think. I never posted about this because I wanted to check deeper if there was something wrong with my [new and clean-out-of-dirt] box, but since other users are reporting same issues there just may be a kernel problem. -Martín
