I should have explained better. I've read the ACPI guide and set Gentoo |
13 |
up accordingly - and under normal usage the temperature is OK. However |
14 |
if I start doing anything stressful, like compiling - that's when I end |
15 |
up creeping towards 80 degrees and possibly beyond (I daren't let it get |
16 |
any hotter). |

I do a lot of software dev, and a lot of compiling under win32 - but I |
19 |
never encounter this problem. Even if I set the processor to high |
20 |
performance (I use SpeedSwitchXP under Win32), the temperature is always |
21 |
acceptable. |

I'm scared ;-) |
