I tried that and it helped more than just a regular heat sink, but not as well as an extra large heat sink. I'm not happy with the thermal coupling of the Peltier device that I used, so perhaps it would work better if it wasn't attached with thermal tape (e.g. use thermal compound instead). The heat sink alone solutions I used all had an appropriate amount of thermal compound. >2) Implement a "halt" like feature in the kernel configuration for the K6 >(don't know if this is possible though) We already do, but when the system is busy, you aren't halted very often, so the effect of this is minor. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
