Apparently, HP leaves all thermal management to the OS when ACPI is used. As a workaround you could try to disable ACPI with "boot -2" (it looks like this works even though the boot mans page states that it is for i386 only). > > Regards, > Sverre > >
Takker og bukker! Thanks Sverre! This solved the problem and estd is now able to control the cpu speed with no ACPI running. I read something about an HP bios update. Have to look into this further How can I control various temperature settings in coretemp and do I have any options to control fan speeds and thresholds now? I noticed without ACPI the fan only have two speeds, minimum and something around 80%. It runs a little to hot compiling etc. I'd like to modify this and set critical limits etc if at all possible? Running envstat it only reports "Current" No Critical or Warning temps. Kind Regards Tim
