great site! however, i have one problem. when i run this: $ cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling, i get this: <not supported>. :(
strange to me since Windows seems to throttle my CPU just fine. When I run in Linux, my fans are running constantly and it heats up very quickly. Then, when i boot into windows, after about 1 mins, it is cooler to the touch and blowing cooler air out of the computer. Obviously windows is doing something right and Linux is doing something wrong.
I tried using cpudyn and have had moderate success. It seems to throttle down to 1800 from 2400, which is good, but my comp still seems to overheat. Windows seems to throttle to 1540. Is there a way to change the minmimum CPU speed in cpudyn?
Also, when i let cpudyn run in auto mode, it jumps every second to 2400, then back to 1800, then back to 2400 again. So it doesn't seem to be throttling correctly. I can send it a signal (don't remember what, only that it ends in a 2), and it stays at 1800, but in auto mode, it jumps.
am i doing something wrong?
Thanks for all your help, learning a lot!
