So here's what my scaling_setspeed looks like: root@variance:/# more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed 800000 And here's my /proc/cpuinfo: root@variance:/usr/src/linux-2.6.0# more /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 9 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz stepping : 5 cpu MHz : 1400.280 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm pbe tm2 est bogomips : 1493.28 I don't see an 800 here.. I'm pretty sure the frequency has been scaled down since my fan doesn't come on that often now.. or could it be that the machine is fooled into thinking that the freq. is 800 (and hence the reduced fan activity) but it's still actually at 1400? That would be scary and might result in failures I guess... Thanks, nirmal
