On the new box I think the BIOS can slow down the CPU automatically if temp goes above threshhold temp if the OS cannot.
Only if CPU frequency scaling is supported, but Linux takes over that function anyway. I know that I can switch between max and 50% on a AMD 64 based laptop running 10.3. Though, main point is that cooling should keep CPU in allowed temp range even if it runs 100% all the time. The problem is not only that heath sink and fans should be clean, but also thermal compound should be the good one. Silver is better then white, and white is cheaper, so you can imagine which one is factory default ;-) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
