Well, A64 are heavily advertised as being "cool & quiet," where is
this thing??? Alas, this HAS to be impremented by the motherboard
vendor, just like the old thermal shutdown, which not all vendors did.

Hopefully your did, and u can find a BIOS setting that will let you
throttle things down when idle. Read: BIOS power management setting.

Otherwise that's what happends when one gets the latest&greatest.

Get one of these - they really do work

I use this with my AMD 2500XPm, 9600 ATI GPU, and it runs far cooler with
this device sitting underneath.
