This is not a question of should be on or off. The cool cycle happens
immediately. In dos only when an app is not running but it cools down
immediately. In OS/2 is automatic. Can have 4 apps operating but if not
cpu intensive runs at low end of scale. Believe is main reason never break
internal hardware. Get a machine that had windoze, it's durability is
compromised.
Much of my computer use is automated. Something occurs at specific times.
Some days while at work box is busy for 8 hours. Don't need it operating at
peak temps all day though.
Speaking with a linux programmer the other day, mentioned that unix does
cool cpu somewhat but operates at a heavier load. For the linux users,
anyone test their temp operation? Differnce between distros or kernels?
