I don't know if it is only a feeling, but I guess my computer gets hot very fast when I am using Linux, is there a reasonable reason for that?

There are a couple possibilities. The most likely that I see is that you are doing more with the processor or video card in linux compared to Windows. The other option it could be is that in Windows you might have had a fan control application that was better at keeping your system cool compared to letting the system handle it itself. | |||

Linux tried to save some power by not speeding up the cooling fans when it isn't really nessecary, wich means that your PC will indeed get warmer. It's the same here, but nothing to worry about. When your computer comes above a specified temperature it will still speed up the cooling fans to prevent it from getting to hot.
If you want to be sure that there isn't a problem while reaidng the data from the temperature sensors, please give me the output of | |||
