The thing is that yesterday I had it docked and that seems to raise the idle temperature by about 10°C, so I get docked somewhere about 42°C when doing nothing computationally intensive: hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 50.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 42.0C dev.cpu.0.temperature: 42.0C dev.cpu.1.temperature: 42.0C So I probably have to shift things around to give the dock a bit more room. However, the dust, the thermal liquid and the screws seem to have contributed to the temperature increase too. The GPU (Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M) might be an issue, nvidia-settings says 58°C (I am not running any fancy graphics) and I've seen it getting over 100-120°C before, when I am doing some opengl stuff. With the latter I mean, that I know how to intentionally kill it. Anyway, I have solved my problem and that seems to not be related to ULE at all. However, it was still surprising for me to find out how ULE schedules computationally intensive tasks. Regards, Momchil
