on top of the processor of ANY compuer I used to stop.

In laptops its very common to at least dramatically slow down system fans when they're not needed. When modern laptops are in an idle or near idle state their processors use very little power and therefore generate very little heat.

Now I wouldn't ever try to slowdown the fan on an Intel P4 ... you can probably roast marshmallows over P4s.

I do not need to cool down my processor down to 37 degrees, as it is in the moment. I need to make my fan speed dependent on the cpu temperature. This will save battery & reduce noise. Any idea how to do that? btw, I have loaded the modules:
