Probably not KDE, but possibly X itself. Maybe it isn't the CPU, but |
| 11 |
the GPU that is overheating. |

The radeon driver has a "DynamicClocks" setting (man radeon). Do you |
| 14 |
have this option in your xorg.conf file? |

Do you have /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM*/temperature? If so, just do: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
while sleep 2 ; do clear ; cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM*/temperature; |
| 26 |
done |

Again, did you check /var/log/messages to see if anything interesting |
| 29 |
shows up there. If you have Machine Check Exception options in your |
| 30 |
kernel, many overheating, fan, or voltage problems should get reported |
| 31 |
there. |
