Hi Guru: I was faced with this problem simply running memtest86, and I found a setting in the BIOS that let me specify which fan belonged to the CPU. I set it to control an unused fan connector, which made the CPU fan run constantly at full speed from the old connector. YMMV. Best, Norm

Hi Manuel,
I just did some comparision of md5sum's captured the time ... for a 600MB file on Knopix (32 bit version) and Suse 10 - 64 bit.
Knopix: real 0m25.108s user 0m4.000s sys 0m0.930s
Suse10.0 - 64bit real 0m25.816s user 0m5.504s sys 0m1.552s
Not too sure if this is the right way to go about making comparisions ... though Knoppix was a Live cd.
BTW ... while building openssl ... CPU load always shows 100%.
#powersave -rT Thermal Device no. 0: Temperature: 68 Critical: 97 Passive: 93 1600.048706 MHz
Is there anyways I could opt my fan to keep runnin ... all time? This isn't supported in my bios.
Best Regards, Guru

Hello,
I have been using suse10 an acer amd64, turion laptop.
Until recently not noticed that my laptop getting over heated. I am running an Suse 10.0 64-bit version on the box. Has anyone identified/noticed if things work better on 32-bit versions or the previous versions running on 64bit box. I am quite perplexed and helpless with this. Also the fan doesn't seem to run all the time (though when plugged in or when on powersave ) ... also just goes on and off during recharge.
and i never run it for a strech of more than 4 to 6 hours.
I have a HP Pavilion 8050EA Turion M37 with 1G of memory 2, hard discs eide (not sata).
I'm running a 10gR2 Oracle server, with windows in WmWare emulation, apache server with reports in client-server, sometimes the fan goes on.
Compiling the Qt-4.1 library, the fan goes on after few minutes, the same for the kernel.
Compiling the Qt-4.1 takes ~20 minutes, in an AthlonXP-2400+ (also 1G of memory), the same compilation takes ~40 minutes.
This is not a real benchmark, but a good indicator.
