The emifreq ap plet indicates lowest speed and ~54 degrees C. - verified w/ powernowadm. The fan starts right afte r hitting ~ 50 degrees and the temperature never goes below the 50 degrees again . I'll cross-check the temperatures in windows. I tought: Let's operate w/ 400 MHz and the fan will stop in idle mode - whisfull thinking. > >Maybe it's just the crappy thermal design of the Tecra M3. > >Under WIndows I was able to tweak the powersettings that at least in idle mode >the fan is off most of the time.
Might be other powersavings such as clock throttling or saving power on the GPU. Casper
