Not yet I'm not....also the profiles in klaptop(which just overheated<br>again and it's at 90 degrees and rising in 800Mhz) are named as the<br>P0,1,2 states(x Mhz, y mW,z uS) and not as they were(conservatve.....)<br>
<br>don't use kpowersaved since it doesn't work anymore or at<br>> least on my pc it cannot find acpid started. if you'd like a monitor<br>> for kde there are different solutions:<br>> - one is superkaramba with some theme like aero-aio<br>

Thanks, that I did not knew, I'm new to laptops and their fan<br>"drivers"/sensors and such. I never did had an temp issue on my<br>machine, although it has to speed states.<br>> also some helpful utils for kde are: klipper (fabulous klipboard);<br>

So I don't need no fancontrols but what do I need to keep these temps<br>stable and below 60?Because now I'm sure it heats up for no reason and<br>then when it feels like it it cools down.<br><br></blockquote></div>
