Upon detection of a higher temperature the fan speed is resumed at full speed to appropriately cool the processor. I was (trying to) build a quiet computer. I've first used the heatsink sold with the processor (the one with theorically the thermistor). It run full speed (3000 rpm) regardless the processor temperature. The procesor was running about 29C idle and 51C during burn tests. Then I've used fancontrol to use the pwm capabilities of the motherboard. The fan was stopped when I stared the computer, full 3000 rpm at full load and 1200-1800rpm most of the time. I remarked that I began to hear it at about 1500 rpm. I bought a Zalman CNPS7000B. I dont use anymore fancontrol and I use the fanmate potentiometer to adjust it at the lower possible speed which is about 1300-1400rpm. The temparature are the same as with the stock heatsink at 300rpm (idle temperature is 3C higher) and the system is quiet...

Re: Athlon64 Dual Core powernow
Funny, I only have the upper frequencies available, not the real power saving one (1000 MHz), see below. I think it's a BIOS problem, have a Shuttle ST20G5.

Re: Athlon64 Dual Core powernow
I am running an Asus A8N SLI with a 3800+ Dual core uname -r: 2.6.12-1-amd64-generic (ok, I know no smp) If I try and insert the powernow-k8 module, it whines and doesn't insert it. It must be a bios related issue I did read about a newer version of the powernow-k8 module was in the pipeline in 2.6.13. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
