Hi,

Has anyone here tried CoolBookController with the newest MBAs? I already used this program for a year on my MBP 15', though I didn't get the best results with my particular CPU, but still OK. However, with my 1.6ghz MBA 11', I can use the lowest volt setting on all the CPU frequencies (that is, the same volt setting for 0.8ghz as 1.6ghz). I don't know exactly how much heat reduction or extra battery life this will give you, but my MBA stays really cool with normal use such as surfing, office, playing music etc.
Recommended.. :)

I am doing exactly the same thing, and it runs like a dream. Very, very cool...and measurably better battery life.
