This is my output of hddtemp /dev/sda

/dev/sda: ST750LM022 HN-M750MBB: 46°C

This makes my laptop way too hot. I have dual boot and I have installed windows. My HDD does not heat up this much in windows.

I have gone through some of the questions here in akubuntu. I even tried setting APM to 254. Also my standby time to 10 minutes. But, my HDD doesn't show up any improvement

I'm afraid whether this heat will wear out my HDD soon. This is an internal HDD.

This is my sensors output

Virtual device temp1: +63.0°C temp2: +63.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) temp3: +30.0°C (crit = +120.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +65.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +65.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +63.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +56.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 3: +57.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

This may have nothing to do with this but, is your laptop plugged in? In an effort to save battery power your system is probably spinning down the disk when not in use for some period of time. When on AC it may be keeping it spun up for maximum performance -- generating higher temp. Also, MAKE SURE that your fan isn't clogged,or the laptop is in a tight space. Cam I have your Ubuntu Specs as well?
