This is wrong. OEMs have to pass passive and critical trip points. If temp exceeds the first, the CPU will get throttled on the latter the machine will be shut down. As said, this all depends on the BIOS, not on AMD and (partly as long as there is no bug) not on the OS. It also depends on your OEM that you have fans which can transport away the heat, even if the CPUs are fully utilized for some hours without the CPUs getting "fried" or the machine gets slowed down. I agree it would be fine to have an ACPI independent temperature control and throttle mechanism, but I could not convince Len Brown about it. > evident on all 5 different X_64 PC's I have which problem? - powernow-k8 driver is not loaded and cpufrequtils does not show you cpu frequency switching capabilities? - Do the machines shutdown (or hard switch off)? - Or is it about KDE Windows not showing cpu frequency capabilities? Please attach acpidump and dmidecode of systems which shutdown/switch off hard. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
