Hey Sthu Deus, thanks for the reply. I currently have installed on my machine cpufrequtils, fancontrol and lm-sensors. As you saw or not from my message I just started using Debian since yesterday. I googled cpufrequtils and found out how to start and configure it. On the other hand I can't seem to find a guide for fancontrol so I would appreciate if you can tell me how to set it up in a way that doesn't kill my laptop. I can imagine this sort of things can be dangerous if not done right. Regards,amt. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
