Hi,

I've just bought a Giada i20 mini-pc for my home server. I've managed to 
slow down the cpu speed with powerd, but the fan keeps running at a 
(what seems to me) too high speed.

I've contacted the manufacturer asking him about if this is an expected 
behaviour (even if it had windows) but I didn't get any response from 
them (and no, I don't have windows licenses to try it myself :-( ...).

Do you know if there is anything I can do on freebsd to reduce its 
speed/noise?

Thanks on beforehand.
