I've followed the instructions and didn't brick the laptop, so that's good. I can't tell if there's a difference, but I know it did hit 80 once. It's idling at around 67 right now, which is much more acceptable. It might not have worked, though. More info below.
The site mentioned copying DSDT.aml to /etc/mkinitramfs/DSDT.aml. My output file was dsdt.aml (case-difference), but I upcased it when copying it over. I of course replaced his kernel version with my own. A point of interest in my dmesg is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg| grep -i acpi|grep DSDT [17179569.184000] ACPI: DSDT (v001 ALI M1533 0x06040000 MSFT 0x0100000d) @ 0x00000000 [17179572.640000] ACPI: Looking for DSDT ... not found!
