My T60p is really unusable for anything cpu intensive under FreeBSD. Even= =20 with the ibm acpi addons loaded and the fan set to it's highest setting it= =20 only turns at 3700rpm, which isn't enough to keep it from shutting down due= =20 to heat. (eg over 100C) I'm interested in whatever cooling solutions people have... =2D-=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB --nextPart1533427.3Tut7xWMFY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkhGjl8ACgkQJvkB8Sevrsv1xQCdFaCpDi5H0m3y7s7plBLB4ziJ WhkAoITgiluSiAdWTnr/JypcDSxEgGwy =/cLs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1533427.3Tut7xWMFY--
