[Wizard] Cooling them down

[Bernard Blackham]

I burnt myself today on a stack of three wizards all switched on :(

What I've found though, is by passing the IDE ribbon cable over the
top of the USB connector instead of flat over the CPU heatsink, it
gives the heatsink room to breathe and they don't get quite so
burnable. This involves unscrewing the USB connector, pushing the
IDE ribbon cable into the edge of the case and pushing the USB
connector back into place underneath it...  They're running *much*
cooler now! (Well cool enough not to burn me)

AND! Even more exciting... I was playing with 2.4 IPSec (debian's
2.4 backport) today and to cut a long story short, it sucked, so I
went to compile 2.6.0-test11 to see if it was less buggy. I came
across the following unrelated kernel compile option:

<*> Cyrix MediaGX/NatSemi Geode Suspend Modulation

"CONFIG_X86_GX_SUSPMOD
This adds the CPUFreq driver for NatSemi Geode processors which
suport suspend modulation."

Looks very very promising! I'm about to head out so haven't got a
chance to play yet, but will probably tomorrow.  I'll keep the list
posted on if it really does cool it down :)

Bernard.
