What I would like to do is to run the fans at low speed up until some threshold CPU temperature, say when temperature gets to 70 Celcius, run the fans at full speed, until it drops. I do feel that the current setting of fan speed to CPU temperature is too high, which generates a lot of noise in my room. Fans could be run at lower speed and CPUs could be slightly hotter without causing a meltdown. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
