Passive temperature control

Passive temperature control

[Fred Labrosse]

All,

Still trying to squeeze as much time out of my battery, I'm currently
trying the passive cooling mode.  So when I'm on batteries, I do a:

echo -n 1 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRC/cooling_mode
echo -n 1 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRS/cooling_mode

which is indeed reflected in the corresponding files when I cat them.

However, this does not seem to change anything.  I'm obviously missing
something, but what is it?

ITA,

Fred

You can try to override thermal trip points...
