At least you can notice remarkable slowdown and loss of responsiveness when throttling is supposed to be active. This effect is also dependent on the throttling level, the higher it is the more noticeable those delays are... So at least on the "slow-down" side of things it seems to be working, but unfortunately it does not decrease CPU temp... > Then mail me the acpidmp.out.bz2 I will do so as soon as possible. > I'm still wondering if I'm right to think that its not an intel > chipset. If its an Intel one, then something is wrong. Intel chipset > support 8 throttling levels, not 16. Could you please do a lspci -v? Oh yes, I totally forgot. If I remember correctly it is some VIA chipset. lspci output will also follow.
