Hi, |

|
| 24 |
Has it melted yet? |
| 25 |
Keep some thermal compound at hand! |

Have you tried the i8kutils? |
| 28 |
emerge i8kutils |

Great for fan manipulation but don't tell Dell ;-) |
| 31 |
Designed for the Inspiron 8000 series but works on other models too. |

Works great with my Inspiron 5150 running 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 kernel. |

You need to compile the i8k module in the kernel: |

Processor Type and features>Dell laptop support. |

| 38 |
Only got it to work when I put : |
| 39 |
"i8k force=1" |
| 40 |
in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Hope this helps, |
