(Get the code!)
Thanks Paul - I couldn't have said it better myself. Man. I've had it.
As has been pointed out AND demonstrated (I falsely believed acpi was controlling my fan speed), the OS does NOT control the fan and that is not the issue.
Yes, hacking the fan will *help* - simple physics will tell you that if you move more air, you'll do more cooling. But that isn't the fundamental problem.
We even showed that the fan speed in Windows was the same. The BIOS controls the fan. So there is something *else* going on.
Oh, yes and as they say, "don't let the door hit ya in the *** on your way out..."
