Hi all,
I'm running Gentoo on Compaq Presario 1500 for almost a year now, and everything is fine and dandy except for one thing: the CPU gets hot quickly whenever I emerge large packages (xorg, mysql, kernels).
Currently I don't have any control apps (speedfreq, cpufreq), and I resort to distcc (which keeps the CPU temp somewhere between 65 deg C
to 68 deg C - without it it goes as high as 74 deg C). Another thing
that I do is Ctrl-S to suspend the compile, let the CPU cools down,
and Ctrl-Q to continue.
The fans are all working fine.
Question: What other things I can do to cool the CPU while emerging? Will using cpufreq/speedfreq helps?
