I used this on my laptop HP dv6
Here are the steps;
1. edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. add these 2 lines to the end of the file
# radeon
blacklist radeon
3. edit /etc/rc.local
modprobe radeon
chown -R $USER:$USER /sys/kernel/debug
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
4. reboot and it should be good
5. you can check if it worked
cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
no more fan's noise, no more temperature...
Very nice hack
:D
