I switched to Arch Linux from Debian/Crunchbang and noticed much higher temperature.It's almost the same configuration: openbox, etc and Arch runs with 57-70 C but Debian works with 43C - 50CI really like Arch, but I can't fix it, my touchpad gets really hot.It's something with software, because wheezy was cold enough for comfortable work.
Arch CPU temperature much higher than on Debian
