temperature

When I was using Windows 7 my notebook temperature was very good, it stayed very cool. After I installed 12.04, my notebook base is hot all the time, I cannot even put my hands on it for a long time.

My notebook has a 2nd generation Intel i5 processor. I installed Jupiter and it shows 72 Degrees Celsius constantly.

Anyone got a fix for this? I don't want to go back to windows but if I do not find any solution I will have to do it.

I'd be very grateful for any help.
