The core will always look like it is "running" in top, even when it is asleep. That is just how FreeBSD accounts for idle CPU time. The only thing I was hoping would change is the fan having to run. You can try kldload'ing coretemp and seeing if the processor temperatures are different when dee

John, Thanks. I am trying your suggestions on my Dell laptop (Intel Core i7, 4 cores). First off, my /etc/rc.conf already had # powerd: adaptive speed while on AC power, adaptive while on battery power powerd_enable="YE

Thanks very much for the reply. Being new to FreeBSD, this still seems weird to me. (My background is Solaris.) On both machines, the core that's running at 150% in the case of the HP machine, and at 400% in the case of the Dell laptop, is causing the fans to come on. Would you call that "

Hello, I am new to FreeBSD. I just installed 9.1-RELEASE-p3 (comes with PC-BSD 9.1) on an HP Pavilion s5100z. The machine has a dual-core AMD Athlon 7750 processor. What happens is that when I am doing nothing on the machine, one core is about 150% busy running the idle proces
