Everything below 90 is cool.

My grandpa is going to be sad...

If that's the CPU temperature then it's running really efficiently, you'd expect up to 100Β°C if you were doing something intense!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It can't reach 100C, it's a 10 year old Core i3 🀷 πŸ˜‚.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That means your fans are good then!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah, some dust maybe, but other than that, they still work like a caharm πŸ˜‚.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's nothing. My laptop regularly reaches 100C doing basic gaming lol.

Is this a Linux kernel 6.66 joke?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

No, the 66Β°C was just a coincidence πŸ˜‚.

Maybe we'll discover Gentoo is emitting as much CO2 as China

It's Void, but still πŸ˜‚.

Time to test out that 8 year old thermal paste!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It's actually 11 years old 😬, but I changed it a few years ago ☺️.

winter is hitting hard on some parts, I see

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

lol 🀣🀣🀣, yeah, I had the window open 🀣.

Just out of curiosity I just started building the Linux kernel to see what my system does, but the CPU isn't going over 10% load and is hovering around 40 degrees. I just ran make without any parameters, is there a way to get it to use more than a single cpu core at a time?

Edit: Now we're cooking. make -j$(nproc)

99% CPU utilization at 56 degrees.

Such an understatement for 56C πŸ˜’.

Oh, good, a sane person that uses air cooling.

I have a BeQuiet one on my desktop... can't remember the model though 😁.

my laptop is at 56Β°C idle, then again it is summer here

edit: the moment i went to check it is now at 47Β°C with the browser open. maybe it was reporting the wrong temperature or it's just cooler today

I need to take this thing apart and blow the dust from the fan πŸ˜‚.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You might want to replace your thermal paste as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, of course, no way I'm assembling it with the old thermal paste πŸ‘.

yt-dlg. It's wxPython based, so it takes A LOT of time and CPU power... or maybe my laptop is just old πŸ˜‚.
