About CPU over heating

[firenice03]

I am at a point where I have to either have some help or go to another distro or go back to windows but I have been trying to stick it out. Long story short this was my first distro that I came to from windows but my fans come on too quick and at too low of a temp. My laptop runs incredibly cool on linux so the fans shouldn't come on very much at all. I am no where near good enough at linux to understand how to mess with the thermald config files but I am pretty sure that is all that needs to be done.I will show the output of sensors output at ends. I have been on my pc for hours this morning reading and trying to figure this out myself. I am usually at about 36 c so as far as heat there isn't any. This is a yoga laptop without a dedicated graphics card and it shoud and does stay very cool so I am just wanting fans to not kick on until later which in my case will be very rarely because like I said even multitasking and say streaming video or football at the same time the hottest I have seen it get is 46 c. This is not a thinkpad. It is considered an ideapad.I am using the uefi version of LL 4.2 and it works great. I had the regular version installed the first time and the same thing occured so I went further but after taking a tour of other distro's I would like to call LL my home so if somebody with more skill than me could kindly show me the way it would be so so much appreciated.    coretemp-isa-0000

Looks like a reoccurring issue even with windows for the past 2 years..

The above links seem to relate more so to bios/uefi settings with the last being a linux based fan conrtol....
Can't say whether it'll work... But may be worth a try, having a fresh backup to restore to would help if you find tweaking the system results in a less than ideal configuration...
