In my cases, several Mac transformed to Linux and some windows transforms, they all run better in Linux. You can check with lm_sensors which reads the temperature of the sensors, specially on the cpu, then repaste them, you will see you gain 10 degrees Celsius or more on badly thermal pasted cpus. I also upped the minimum fan speed (by modifying a file on startup) lm_sensors reads that too, so upped 1000 revs were still is quite quiet and that helps. All of this while having CPUPower on conservative from startup. Peace and quiet :) I am curious: why do you have a throwaway account for posting this? Edit: is that machine even able to run another OS than Linux? If not Linux is awesome and can even run on that machine :)
