Have you read the wiki page regarding *frequency scaling* ? Frequency scaling is a technique to lower the speed of your CPU. The less fast your CPU runs, the less power it will consume. As already explained, power and heat are inter-related. So if it run less fast, you'll be producing less heat. Not sure what you mean by *permanently* or *when not using computer* You configure the governor to suit your needs. Here's some info http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt http://www.pantz.org/software/cpufreq/usingcpufreqonlinux.html https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_Frequency_Scaling > >> Some motherboards have temperature sensors > > The GPU seems to be always 41C while the CPU shows a cycle of > some 34-47C. > >> fan connectors (e.g. 4-pin) > > Fan connectors are 3-pin! > >> that can control the fan speed(s) according to measured >> temperatures and firmware settings, provided that you have >> compatible fans.

But it's hard to say because you've only cited this line. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
