Andreas,
I am having the same problem with this laptop(mine is 1.33GHz). A
walk around solution will be to slow down the cpu speed.
(root or using sudo) echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/
cpufreq/scaling_governor
In my case this CPU speed will be halved which is 0.66Ghz. It's not
a good solution but the laptop didn't shutdown anymore for overheat.
Yes i use the powernowd as the userspace frequency scaler which can
step (or if necessary restrict) the CPU down to 750 MHz. It could be
feasible to create a daemon that does that automatically if the CPU
gehts to hot. I wonder if MacOS X just does not care about the
termperature as much as Linux or if Apple simply also steps the CPU
down temporarily (or even periodically) when the CPU is getting too hot.
I hope someone could provide a better solution.
Me too. I´m right now also stepping the CPU back manually when I have
to copy a lot of files to the external HD (like making backups using
rsync). And this is definitely not a pretty solution.
Does anyone know how to increase the shudown temperature of the
kernel. I´d risk some degrees to see if this works - And it should
work like running without the "therm_adt746x" module proved. I´m even
considering abandoning the module completely - if only someone could
tell me what would happen then (or even why the fan control does work
without it too...)
bye Andreas
