If they ever need a thermal shield for a spacecraft in the future I'll recommend a sandwich of intel processors. All the while I can hardly hear the fans spinning (there is some ambient noise but i'd expect this thing to be blasting out flames right now) but I can tell that those 8 processing threads are running a looooot slower than when the temperature was lower so i think the system is throttling the CPU clock to deal with it instead of ramping up the fan speed.
attached is a screenshot of what Im seeing from the system monitor (conky) when running parallelised code (using openMP) on my dell laptop ** Attachment added: "screenshot of process monitor" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/874355/+attachment/2939837/+files/burning.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874355 Title: Dell studio 1747 overheating, fans spin slow even above high temp.
