 Well, obviously it got a lot cooler :)
 And 5.5 will have software CPU cooling.
 
 Seriously: I don't know the cause, could be anything. I wouldn't jump to
 conclusions about 5.3 - 5.4.
 
 Interesting observation though.

Hello,
Totally un-scientific, but I have been watching tempurature the past few 
days with gkrellm.  I thought your report sounded pretty fantastic, so I 
HAD to try it out.  I made world, etc.  And while making world, 
tempurature climbed rapidly to top tempurature of 144.5F.

Since booting in to the new world, and running portmanager -u, as well 
as streaming, plenty of work to keep the system quite loaded, it took 
some time to get past 120F, and now seems to top out around ... 142.7F 
it says now.  It took a long time to get past 140F.

It seems that if thre IS a difference, that maybe it takes longer to 
build up heat now?  Ah well . . .

Thanks,
-danny

that was also my reaction. That is why I started to look for a explanation,
but I am sure of it, not because of the software I use to check temperature,
but specially from my hand.

Untill the last update, the system was always getting to such temperatures
as soon as it was compiling for a while ( 5 minutes ).
And the temperature was really high because my hand on the laptop was simply
more hot than it is in these days.
I know its pretty empirical as a proof, but the laptop is not compiling
since 2 days, and still the temperature is now at 52 degrees Celsius,
Before, in the last 3 months, every time I compiled something for longer
than 5 minutes, it reached high temperatures, really high :-0  !!!

I think it hangs with the acpi system, but I cant tell.
I hope at least this that this case may be of help for the community

wow ! 5.3 - 5.4 -

2005-03-20 Thread Alex D'Elia

Hello dear people @ freebsd

something wonderfull ( at least in my case ) happened 
since the last update of the base system on a sony vaio 
laptop ( CPU: Intel Pentium III (694.84-MHz 686-class CPU) )

before, when the machine was compiling, it was getting
at 82 degrees with 100% CPU

now, with 100% CPU it gets at maximum 52 degrees.

what happened between 5.3 and 5.4-PRERELEASE ?

thanks alot,
alex
