I just recently installed ubuntu 10.04 on a partition of my harddrive so I am somewhat new to everything.
Basically I was worried when i noticed that when running ubuntu my computer fan was always working its hardest and is extremely loud. so I check the resource usage and one core is always at 100% and the other one is at 2-3%.
this is what is displayed when i do cat/proc/cpuinfo

power management:
usually when im on windows both run around 15%ish
are they supposed to be running like this? if so why is my fan so loud
