Just curious if anybody knows. Is the throttling of the P4 CPU controlled internally by the chip, or at the motherboard? Is there a set temperature that this happens? Can it be disabled? As far as I can tell, my system seems to slow down once the CPU temp reaches approx 50C, but even that reading may not be accurate, because I think it's a motherboard sensor, unless it's somehow reading an internal thermal sensor in the CPU. Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated
