This's on an HP Pavilion AMD64 dv4.  It runs hot.  I'm wondering:

-  I run it at lowest freq. to minimize heat.  Is that correct?

-  I wonder if I should run it at highest freq. so it blasts through
   stuff, giving it no chance to produce heat.

Which is correct?  Tests I've done with highest freq. were not
encouraging.  Help?
