Hi, I'm using an old Core 2 processor in a case with 5 hard drives, one of which is an SSD. It's a server but doesn't get hit particularly hard, so I'm wondering what the options are to try and conserve power with it as it's generating rather a lot of heat. I've looked at powertop, but there didn't seem to be a huge amount there.The processor only scales between 2 and 3Ghz with an ondemand governor. I upgraded the processor from a E8460 and doubled the ram to 8GB, with the same hard drives and this was when I noticed the temperature increase.
Thanks
