Re: [ILUG-BOM]AMD processor ??

<Snipped original mail>

Hi,

I am having AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with ASUS A7V8X Mothorboard. I have an enclosed PC cabinate to prevent my PC from dust. The cabinate opens only from front when I want to use it. I do face a heating problem. The temperature easily rises to 60+ oC without any process using CPU cycles. I use CPUIdle on Windows which does a very good job to keep the temperature down to 25 oC when CPU is not in use(even when the room temperature is 30+ oC). But for long compilations or while applying Photoshop filters the temperature rises to 65+ oC also.

BTW is there any utility on Linux like "CPUIdle" which "cools" the CPU while not in use?
