Software per raffreddare la CPU. Funziona?

[nekromantik]

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?

cioè fammi capire, con cpuidle, rain, etc. sotto XP non sortiscono nessun effetto mentre questo programma invece sì?

di fatto cpuidle etc tengono in sleep la cpu (e quindi sotto raffreddamento) solo quando la cpu stessa non lavora. Stando a quanto riportato sul sito, questo applicativo, a scapito delle performance della cpu, forza un trattamento simile a quello di cpuidle, etc anche mentre la cpu è in lavoro.

ok ho capito, come al solito (o quasi ) avevo capito fischi per fiaschi

cpu idle extreme e un ottimo programma ma va installato con MDM se no non funziona bene.
l'ho provato su aspire 1703sm e le temp sono diminuite.
