Hi,
I would like to underclock my CPU, but I think it is not possible. Indeed I have an old Intel Celeron which is not Mobile or anything :
I really tried _everything_ and still am unable to get my CPU underclocked (and therefore a cooler system).
I recently had an idea but I don't know if it's possible to do it : I would like to modify the kernel scheduler to add something like a "sleep" in the main loop in order to slowdown the CPU usage.
I don't care (at all) if this leads to bad performance, I really want to avoid the PC to completely stop because the CPU temperature is too high.
I would really appreciate any of your ideas. Thank you.
