    Yes, ACPI is used to control fans speed and periferal devices power consumption. You can try to use old power management interface - apm(4), but it will give much less control. Also, CPU scaling will be not affected, since it uses own interfaces, not related to ACPI. Commented Mar 14, 2011 at 16:47
