Re: for Centrino (Pentium-M) - ways to decrease CPU power?
* Miles Keaton [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1236 13:36]: Can FreeBSD tell a Centrino (Pentium-M) CPU to decrease its CPU power? I have a laptop (Gateway 450ROG) whose CPU seems to run hotter in FreeBSD doing *nothing* than it does in Windows doing almost anything. So much so that the loud emergency fan kicks on often to cool the CPU, even when the computer is doing nothing at all. I'm using the newest FreeBSD 5.3 release, but had this same problem with 4.10. Any advice? Anything I can put in the kernel or boot-scripts to tell this Centrino to take it easy? Install sysutils/estctrl, works for me. -- What have you done to the cat?
