If you're experiencing what I think you are, then it could be a regression that has been noticed on a lot of i3/i5/i7 notebooks with intel graphics.
]]>Alright this might be fixed. The second time I installed 3.7.6 I noticed a warning from mkinitcpio that "usbinput" is depreciated and that I should replace it with "keyboard". I didn't catch that last time, (In my defense mkinitcpio puts out a fair bit of output whenever you run it. So I proceeded as instructed, rebooted and wouldn't you have it, cpu temp is back at 25 where it should be.
That can't be it; usbinput is simply an alias (a symlink) to keyboard.
Something else caused the increased temps, but there's very little point in blindly trying to guess what it was.
]]>Unrelated in my opinion.
I agree, but I feel forced to mark this topic solved since I can't make the problem appear anymore. Even after booting Windows and Linux VM's the cpu temp stabilizes at 25..
]]>Since I'm working remotely I have no way to tell if the keyboard is actually working. I'll assume it is, since I see it when I run lssusb.
Thanks for the help.
Archlinux man, love it.
]]>Also verify that frequency scaling is active with the following command:
grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo
I'm not sure at what frequency your CPU idles, but you shouldn't see 3100 (MHz) for all four cores.
]]>Anything else I should check before filing a bug report?
