Nouveau - Aug 2009 - [Bug 23197] New: nv50/NVS135M: laptop runs hot

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23197

           Summary: nv50/NVS135M: laptop runs hot
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: freedesktop.org at stefan-neufeind.de
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


When working under Linux I lately experience the laptop runs quite hot
(resulting in high fan-action, ...). This doesn't seem to be the case under
Windows or so. Also there seems to be no load on the CPU (powertop reports
it's
quite idle, top shows nothing suspicious except Xorg taking approx 6% cpu) etc.
So I suspect it might be GPU-related.

We don't do power management, this is a complicated area. Some would even
say
it's not to be messed with without documentation. Regardless of this
it's not
easy. It's the usual lack of time answer (and even with time there are few
guarantees).

I currently run the proprietary driver and it runs at 55 ?c, just for
displaying the browser.

I'll say the main problem is the GPU itself, mine even melted a month ago,
still with the proprietary driver.

With nouveau (nv50) nvclock reports my GPU is running at 85?C, was already
close to  90 one day and the fans constantly run - even during "normal
office
work" etc.
Is that really related to "powersaving" or not? I didn't mean to
save the last
minute of battery-power possible but the current situation leaves me with a
really hot device you wouldn't want to put on your knees while working off
the
desk.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty
good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your
distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
