[quote]Frore believes small is beautiful and hopes many more products will follow, selling the AirJet for tightly-packed devices in which passive heat management means lesser CPUs are deployed, or silicon is throttled back to avoid overheating.[/quote]

How about leaving the throttling on and making the device even cooler and quieter instead?

User controllable fan-curves should be standard for any actively cooled device.

Even when they are the software works only in Windows...

For motherboards you can typically set them in the BIOS, so no software needed there. For GPUs, IDK what exists outside of windows, but I'd expect there to be some kind of utility for it in the Linux world.

Fine tuning the fan curves in the BIOS is a pretty crummy experience requiring multiple reboots to test the system under load and play with the configuration. If there was a Linux compatible tool to tweak them on demand, I would love to know.
