CPU overheating

[Ahmed Kamal]

Well, this is not a grease problem, because it overheats *only* after
resuming from a suspend to ram. On a clean boot, the CPU is very well
cooled.

It might be a BIOS thing, but yes I have flashed a new one around 6 months
ago. And of course resuming from ram on Windows works fine, so probably a
driver is doing some magic. The kernel is supposed to be controlling the fan
speed, right ?
