Root Droid running hot...not sure why

I just installed CyanogenMod 5.0.8 with a p3Droid lv 1200 kernel. My phone is running a lot hotter than is used to on Kangerade 1.0 with a ChevyNo1 ulv 1200 kernel. Before my phone never went above 115 - 117 degrees at most. It now gets all the way to 127 - 130 degrees. My failsafe in SetCPU is set a 110 degrees. Is the reason because the kernel is only lv and not ulv? Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Every phone can respond differently to ROMs/Kernels...particularly kernels. You can try reducing the clock speed, but may need to try another kernel.

I suggest the jdlfg kernels -ran great/cool on my phone w/CM ROMs...

Look on Cyanogen forum in the stable Mod section, there's a jdlfg thread there w/his 2.1 and 2.1 kernels.

Can't remember - they might be in ROM Manager as well...
