[ltp] r40 fan

[Richard Neill]

Speaking of which - is there any way to set the CPU speed such that when 
it gets too hot, it throttles back, rather than starting the fan?
Could this, in fact be done by a usermode (or kernel) program, or is it 
only the bios which can control this?

My A22p has got significantly worse since the latest bios update which 
"improves fan control" - it seems that the fan now comes on at the 
slightest provocation!
