I would like to understand why using linux, my notebook gets much higher
temperatures than using windows, in linux i get about 67º celcius grades.

For what i have compared to other notebooks, the drive made for my notebook,
an Asus A2h, you can see specifications in
http://www.asus.com/products/notebook/a2series/a2000h/a2000h_overview.htm

I dont see other notebooks get so high temperatures like mine, and im also
talking about Asus notebooks.

Im pasting here the sensors output:
