There are reports of fans running at 100% which I was able to confirm, but the CPU frequency scaler was in fact working correctly for me. A fast running fan does not necessarily mean that the CPU is at it's top speed.
The problems occur when the CPU switches speed, running at any speed without switching should not cause any problems. On my laptop when I am on battery power, I will lock the CPU to the lowest speed when doing audio work, unless I really need it (which I almost never do). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkm1xwUACgkQwRXgH3rKGfM8wQCfVJP0xLGxqkla3iPL7q5zSS4T 3ZoAoKeeF9EroJtkOTTmB8WUle+EE6/Z =FkXm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
