    Hi there

    So I recently picked up a t440p that I have dual booted. Under windows I'm seeing idle temps of around 40c however under linux I'm seeing idle at 54c!!! Any suggestions on how to control this better? That temp is being provided by sensors command.

    If it matters I have an i5 4300m and the nvidia 730m. I have installed the nvidia drivers using prime and I have selected the intel profile to ensure it isn't the nvidia GPU causing the heat. I have also ensured my fan is completely clean, I'm going to repaste the CPU this weekend as well

    Open to ideas

    Thanks

    Not a bad idea. Sometimes it seems like if things are off a few mm, it can make a big difference.

    ubuntu always makes my pc run 5* hotter and that's with it running as a vm inside a windows 7 host. So I can take out the video driver being the cause as I'm using a default vm display adapter for the vm.
