Hi,
I'm using an old Core 2 processor in a case with 5 hard drives, one of
which is an SSD.  It's a server but doesn't get hit particularly hard, so
I'm wondering what the options are to try and conserve power with it as
it's generating rather a lot of heat. I've looked at powertop, but there
didn't seem to be a huge amount there.The processor only scales between 2
and 3Ghz with an ondemand governor. I upgraded the processor from a E8460
and doubled the ram to 8GB, with the same hard drives and this was when I
noticed the temperature increase.

Thanks
