<p dir="ltr">Firmware can handle it, yes, but not always in the most efficient way. </p>

What about non graphical applications? </p>
<p dir="ltr">The one in particular that comes to mind is thermald-- Intel's thermal daemon for ensuring Intel CPU's laptops and tablets do not overheat and stay within usual temperature ranges. Its a relatively small package, and while this is anecdotal evidence, it seemed to keep my laptop a few degrees coolers during compiles. Minor addition for a better user experience (cooler laps). I've got a spec file for it laying around that use privately, though I know there's a copr that hosts it as well.</p></blockquote><div> Shouldn't this be handled in the firmware? Seems weird to require a daemon that actively monitors your temperature to do this. I know for a fact that in my two laptop and in my desktop computer, the firmware automatically adjusts fan speed, and I don't have any issue with overheating.<br></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div>-Elad.</div>
