Assuming the fan is working, by the time I get down to a BIOS, the
CPU will be quite a bit cooler than it was while running, so a lower
reading in the BIOS won't mean much. Will it?<br>

based on the gnome sensors applet. If it's not reading true,
it's at least showing something related to temperature as the
reading goes up under load and down at other times. As I start
writing this, it had just hit 98C and produced a "Core
temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled" message.
What worries me is that while the fan is blowing, it's doing
so at far below its fastest speed. I don't think the fan is
just clogged or anything because in Windows it will go much
faster. It seems like the equation for when the fan goes to
what speed needs adjusting, but I don't know where that is.<br>
<br>
Any ideas how to fix this? OS is Ubuntu 10.10. The hardware is
a Toshiba a305-s6872, which is a core2duo centrino running an
Intel GM45 chipset.<br>
