[ltp] Re: Never ending fans in spain

[Mats Keil]

Hi,

I was in Seville for some years and working with an R40 + Mandrake 10.0
(still...).  In an air-conditioned room (assuming "pleno verano"), I didn't
notice any abnormal fan activity, but w/o air condition the fan switches on
far more often (I have "speedfreq" installed to control CPU clock rate).
This behavior was seen also with another laptop computer (PIII + Mandrake 9.2),
so the most likely explanation for your increased fan activity is the plus in
ambient temperature.  But for this reason I bought an R40 ("centrino") - since
its shell was designed originally to cope with temperatures which are more
typical for a Pentium-4 ;-)
