Boris, I agree, we really should check the cpu specs. A quick search got
me to this page:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Maximum-CPU-Temperature/143/5
where we clearly see, that the core 2 have much lower critical
temperatures. I added all those 1410* and 1810T* entries on behalf of
people telling they'd have the fan control working with these lines for
some weeks without problems and I didn't care about searching for the
netbooks specifications. My fault.
I would propose to enhance the bios_tbl by the default temperatures.
What do you think?
I'm the person who figured out how the EC worked on the acer 1410, and
sent the first patches in to make acer-hdf work on my 1410.
The bios turns the fan on full blast, and never throttles it. there is
another 3rd party application, for Windows7 that also does the same thing.
