Hi forum, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 on my Asus Zenbook UX32A, and it runs good. The only problem I seem to have, in comparison to 13.10, is that the fans run almost all the time, like nonstop, even when not doing a lot. I've installed both TLP and CPUfreq, and can't really say if it helps since it's one of the first things I do when doing a fresh install. I just hope they do their job.
I have two questions:
1. Is there any tool to control the fans? I'd like to control at what temperature they should run, right now they run all the time and my laptops CPU runs at an average of 48°C, which I think is pretty normal and no reason for the fans to go nuts (I check this with Psensor).
2. Is the CPUfreq indicator compatible with TLP? Could this be the cause of my problem? I want to be able to change battery-modes to PowerSaving or Conservative, and that's what CPUfreq does, just don't wanna mess anything up by installing it alongside TLP.
EDIT: I've unninstalled CPUfreq just to see if it helps with the fans but nope, same thing. I've installed it again, alongside TLP.
If you have any other tips for battery saving, they're more than welcome.
Thanks in advance.
