FVCool is the FreeBSD version of the famous VCool software
|
|
(http://vcool.occludo.net) which changes the PCI configuration data
|
|
of some chipsets and thus allows AMD Athlon/Duron CPUs to go into
|
|
power-save mode. This makes the CPU consume a lot less electric
|
|
energy, and it produces a lot less heat as well. This trick is not
|
|
a secret - on FreeBSD, you can actually achieve the same effect
|
|
which this software has using the "pciconf" command.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this software may have a negative impact on the
|
|
system's stability and thus should not be employed in production
|
|
or mission-critical environments.
