Do you have your fans properly mounted to both bring air in and out? Are there big enough holes on the case? You might want to look into using special processor commands to tell the chip to go idle when it's not doing anything. The `lvcool' command (Google for it) can help, and you might also want to compile your kernel to `make CPU idle calls when idle' (I think there's a kernel boot option for doing that as well) -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ I'm a hollow man, a cheap / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ chocolate Easter Bunny. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
