Active cooling is under control of ACPI, typically not exposed to non-windows operating systems: hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 Value other then -1 you might actually be able to change it. But...your best 15USD spent will be a laptop cooling pad, best one powered by the USB port. Some lappies just can't be fixed with fanspeed, because of bad design and a cooling pad will take at least 5C off. -- Mel
