Hi everyone,

I have got myself a brand new laptop with the Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz
CPU, which is great. It has one problem though; it becomes very hot
when there's a lot of CPU usage (and when it has first gotten hot,
there's no way back, it seems). This only happens when the AC power
plug is plugged in, and I suspect this is because the CPU is designed
not to go to its maximum level when only relying on battery power
(which is good).

What I would like to do is to have some degree of control over how hot
the CPU will get, so that the CPU fan won't make so much noise, and so
that my wrists won't get burnt lying on the notebook while typing text
(as they are right now). I guess the solution would be something like
setting a maximum frequency/voltage or similar - to mimic the way it
behaves when it's just on battery power.
It's not a feasible solution for me to just take the AC plug out,
because I'm usually using the computer for hours at a time.

Can anyone tell me if this is in any way possible? What software or
drivers would I need?


Best regards,

Christian
