Read: When the CPU passes a certain temperature threshold, it automatically clocks down (or inserts NOPs) in-order to prevent is from burning out. Never the less, if your machine's cooling is sufficient you shouldn't see this message. If you CPU's high and low water mark are the same (E.g. 90C), the CPU will reach 90C, throttle, and drop to 89C - all in one second. I'd suggest you configure lm_sensros and monitor the CPU and board temperature. $ sensors-detect $ /etc/init.d/lm_sensors restart $ sensors -s $ sensors - Gilboa P.S. can you post your hardware configuration? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
