I can get my temp. from 52C down to 36C. It makes the CPU truly go idle. Is there anything like this for Linux, and I'm wondering if anyone knows the instructions (and/or signals) which could be used to put the Athlon into this state. I guess it's more of a question for some APM guys, but I thought some people here might know the interface to the Athlon, and might thus know how this software cooling works. Actually the low-level apm stuff is part of the kernel right? so maybe this is on-topic. http://www.cpuidle.de/ Cheers, David Grant - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
