Dear all,
My latop is lenovo X220 with arch linux. Sometimes it just get hot temperature (almost 100 degree) for no reason, with <1% CPU average load and 10% used memory. During that, "top" show X and firefox are top CPU consumers. After reboot, anything is OK and quiet again. Is there any way I can find the true CPU consumer? or release the CPU as with memory?
Thank you?

Solution here:
The replies are right. It is about power regression and can be solved according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … eat_issues.

I imagine that you are suffering from the Sandy Bridge power regression. Do a search for that on these forums and you will find a monster thread that discusses the issue (though it has no permanent resolution).

I am feeling desperate already ....

Make sure all of the vents are clean; if CPU isn't spiking it sounds like the cooling system is not performing.

I am sure the cooling system is working, because the fan sound is huge.
After a couple of times, I am sure that this is related to suspending.
My kernel is 3.9.9. I can't believe that it is still affected.

Fan sound does not determine the levels of dust in your machine.
Have you even thought to try to see if you can find more information about this? Did you reference the thread that I mentioned in the second post? Have you tried a different kernel?
As it is, there is no real information about what your problem could possibly be. The only information that you have given is that your machine gets hot, and presumably suspending has something to do with it.... oh and the "fan sound is huge".

what does cat /proc/loadavg give?

Iḿ having this problem too. Specially after resuming from suspend.
I have an Ivy Bridge CPU.

Randomly after suspending the CPU gets locked into Turbo mode (3.2 GHz), a work around for now is to suspend again and resume (doesn't matter how long you wait as long as it suspends and resumes fully).
Annoying I know, same hardware.
