Ok, then it makes sense, so you are using APIc with CPU Disconnect and Ross' patch. This explains your low idle temps. As I said this config doesn't work for me.



Have you experimented with the new apic_tack boot options in Ross's latest patches?
apic_tack=2 seems to work best for me.


Stupid me. I haven't thoruoughly read the text. I have not activated the patch, so I'll try this. thx for pointing out..

OK, I appended apic_tack=2 and yes, it survives several hdparms! Great, so gonna try if it is really stable.Then I can try =1. CPU cooling down. Already at 46°C. :-)

Not bad,not bad, though I saw a small performace degration: hdparm gives me 60-61mb/s instead of >62mb/s, but I won't complain. :-)
