Re: [gentoo-user] Quieting a 2-speed, loud CPU fan

[Grant]

 I just upgraded my AMD X2 4000+ to a 6000+.  The fan that came with
 the 4000+ always sounded like it had one speed and it was quiet.  The
 6000+ comes with a fan that seems to have two speeds and the faster
 speed is pretty loud.  Can I get the fan to never increase to the
 higher speed?

 the box cooler is PWM controlled.

 FORGET BIOS.

 There is a much better solution: fancontrol. It is part of lm_sensors and
 adapts the fan speed to the cpu temperature.

 The app to config it is 'pwmconfig'

Does anyone have this working with gkrellm?

Limit your 6000+ cpu frequency using cpufreq (so it would become 4000+ and
fan would not spin up). :)
