Fan is always on even when idle!!??
I have dual boot (8.10 and XP) on an Acer 4530-5889 with 9100M nvidia graphics. Since installing 8.10, the fan seems to be on all the time, even when on idle. The fan isn't blowing at full strength all the time but at a noticeable slow-medium speed (sorry about my terminology). Is this due to poor support for the newer nvidia cards. This is also occuring when I boot into XP as well. Why is this? I recall before I wiped out Vista, the fan never came on unless I had at least 3 task going on at the same time in Vista. What should I do or is this normal? Thank you.
Also under the "Thermal Monitor" in the Nvidia X Server Settings, the core temperature reads 60C and the fan is still blowing at what seems to be at medium speed.
sudo apt-get me better grades
