However I don't think you appreciate how loud one of these overclocker's fans (Thermaltake Xaser Spark 7) @ 6400 RPMs actually is: imagine a hairdryer. Just sleeping in the same room (even on the other side of the room is difficult). I've figured out what to do: I enabled cpufreq/p4-clockmod and enabled the powersave governor, like for laptops. I underclock the overclocked machine while I sleep. Now I can turn the fan down to "quite quiet" (3000 RPMs) and compile hte kernel at 46C (before it was 55C). So I can sleep peacefully. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
