Reducing heat under Windows using Apple Boot Camp

Reducing heat under Windows using Apple Boot Camp

I have a unibody MacBook Pro. It is noticeably hotter under Windows using Boot Camp than Mac OS X. Does anyone know how to get better temperature and power management results when running Boot Camp?

"Probably tuning down a lot of the graphics settings of Windows will at least help you unload the GPU.

Or you could try something like CoolBook, which undervolts your CPU and thereby reduces your temperature.

I realize that these answers won't really satisfy you, but I think the driver support under Boot Camp could use some improvement, before a real solution can be given (see nVidia drivers with Multi-GPU)

Or you could resort to installing Windows 7, which at least loads the system less intensive..."

"I use ""Lobbo's Fan Control"" for MacBooks, it's a windows app. It's so awesome that I even donated to the author. http://sourceforge.net/projects/lubbofancontrol/

It's free and opensource."
