Maybe some CPUs with power saving mode (or using cpuspeed). But the
above is dangerous as a general statement. Just as an example: ok, your
CPU is idling and not eating power. Is it safe to remove the CPU fan
and heatsink from it? After all not "eatting" [sic] power should mean
that it isn't generating heat. :-)
So if that's the
case then there's no problem with the way it is?
It isn't the case. While CPUs may not draw as much power when idling
the higher-end desktop processors from AMD and Intel definitely draw a
lot of power and make a lot of heat.
