This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --Apple-Mail-19--58034674 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I just got a Thinkpad X60 and have installed 7.1 STABLE on it. Basically 7.1 and then updated to stable as of 10 Jan. I have one major problem and that is overheating. I cannot run even a long compile without the CPU going to 97C and shutting down. Trying to do something like a buildkernel with -j anything other than 1 also fails. I found this thread on stable@ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-January/039452.html but have not found anything to address the problem. One change I did make was to switch from ULE to 4BSD, since the thread talked about going from 6.2, where 4BSD is the default, to 7.0. This did not have any appreciable effect. The only physical change to the machine was to go from a spinning HDD, to a Flash based SSD (Intel 80G). I don't think the flash drive is adding heat but perhaps the fact that I/O is now faster is leading to overheating? Thoughts or suggestions welcome.
