Fortunately not. But due to new supported hardware, of which I don't know the actual temperature limits of processor, harddisk and other components, it just feels safer with this lower settings. Another point is, that you need to have the "kernelmode=1" option when loading the module to enable fan control. When searching the internet for acerhdf tutorials, you see, everybody not only setting kernelmode=1 but also setting the fanon and fanoff variables. So I think it won't change anything for most people. Furthermore seems like kernel and userspace tools have been improved to work more efficient and my netbook doesn't get so hot anymore, for me it stays most of the time at about 50 degree when doing office stuff and surfing. kind regards, --peter;
