Qualcuno di voi usa programmi tipo CPUidle, Rain, etc?
Lo chiedo perchè ho trovato un applicazione che sembra veramente buona: CPU Eat 'n' Cool (http://www.stepwiki.com/view/Projects/CpuEnC) in quanto differente dai soliti programmi di cpu cooling.
Questo il backgound del software scritto da Stefano Ciccarelli:
This application is designed to slow down your computer while cooling the CPU. Probably you are asking why. Because it's a nice story... I have a notebook equipped with a standard P4 2.2Ghz bought during a cold winter. I used it a lot for my work and for fun playing a lot of games. All was working fine. After the winter was the time for spring, a very hot spring. One day I launched GP4 to make a race and after 5 laps the computer powered off itself. I was a bit confused so I tried again, after 4 laps plonk!, the computer was off again. So I installed a nice program to monitor the internal temperatures and I discovered that the case temperature reached 75°C. As found in the Intel documentation, the maximum case temperature for a standard P4 is 74°C, this means that when the bios sees a temperature higher than that value it powers off the computer. There's no way to open a notebook and add something that gives more cooling, or, at least it's very difficult. So I started searching for some software on the web. I found many programs that claim to cool the CPU when it is idle executing the HLT instruction, but there are two issues to deal with:
1:) If you are using a NT based operating system (like 2000 or XP) this programs are not usefull because the operating system inside it's internal idle cicle executes the HLT instruction. And I'm using WinXP?.
2:) I need to cool the CPU when it is busy, for example when I'm playing a game.
So I started to write my own program.
Che ne dite? :)
