Modern CPUs are designed to run at temperatures a lot hotter than 60C, we just have to deal with it.
Disagree. For some background tasks I'd much rather my laptop kept temperatures down and took a bit longer than get it done quick - the thing sounds like a jet engine when it starts to work hard, especially with the weather we've been having lately. For important tasks (eg something I explicitly run and want done now), I'm prepared to put up with the noise, but not for some background indexing operation that I'm not particularly fussed with. Windows can deal with such things, there is no reason why Linux should have to have a hard time of it. James
