1. force fans to run at max all the time 2. install speedstep or equiv and force cpu to lower speed 3. distcc/ccache 4. compile on an external box and do binary installs 5. use one of those laptop coolers that supply forced air 6. use a script that pauses the compile when temp goes above a certain threshold.
2. The speedstep does work on my dell - but temp gains do not seem much, and of course perf drops right off 5. I am thinking of getting or rather building a laptop cooler with a larger fan that will quietly pass more air than the noisy dell units 6. I used to use a script to pause seti on a desktop when temp got to high - machine was in an uncooled room over an australian summer (rise was 11C between seti on/off) BillK On Mon, 2005-01-24 at 12:51 +0800, mel wrote: > Hi all, > ... > > Question: What other things I can do to cool the CPU while emerging? > Will using cpufreq/speedfreq helps? > > --mel > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > -- William Kenworthy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
