Simple things first. Open the case, and look if heatsink fins are clogged with dust. If so, that will hinder its cooling efficiency, and fans will have to run faster trying to work. Blasting dust out with a can of compressed air is often the easiest solution (do this outdoors). Also, look that it's all properly attached. i.e. Nothing's come loose. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
