Hi,
is apm/apmd the only wat to change the fan speen?
The fan speen never goes above:
hw.sensors.acpithinkpad0.fan0=4527 RPM
+- few RPMs
if i set apmd -C or -A the laptop powers off after a while
without any warnings.
with apm -L or -H its running, but getting hotter.
Any suggestions/ideas?
You can use "sysctl hw.setperf" to permanently set the cpu to run at a
lower speed. On a laptop I used to have, sysctl hw.setperf=0 ran the cpu
at 800mhz. This did not have much of a noticable effect on performance,
unless I was trying to do some heavy compiling or such.
Your bios settings may also have an option to change the fan speed.
