What is the normal temperature range of Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz?

I was using this command to read the temperature of cpu: cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp Then I was looking for some other options and suddenly found that there is another option to find out core temperature. Since this CPU has two cores I…

CPU throttling: energy_performance_preferences

I was looking at ways to keep the CPU cool when running long jobs (40-70 mins long) that use all available cores at maximum available frequency. Also I have a lot of these jobs to run. First I came across this script but I don't understand bash…

Which is hotter (in temperature): i5 or i7? - 8th gen, both 15W

I'm specifically interested in the i5-8250U vs its alternative, the i7-8550U. I've seen this review about a Thinkpad that has been tested thoroughly with the i5-8250U processor. But right now where I live I have a flash sale where I can purchase it…

DVD drive seems to spin at a high speed with no disk inside - But CPU fan is the culprit, because of CPU high temperature

I am using Windows 7 (x64) and my DVD drive starts spinning slowly, then goes faster and keeps running so for tens of minutes: exactly the same behaviour as to normally use a disk, but with no disk! In addition to be noisy, this consumes a lot of…

TLP vs sysfsutils for limiting machine temperature

Let's say we wish to keep our desktop, which runs Debian stable (with some minor upgrades from snapshots), relatively cool (e.g. because the machine has only passive cooling) by limiting the machine speed. I see two ways: Install TLP and…

MacBook Pro CPU temperature too high?

I have a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, Intel), and the CPU temperature when the computer is idle, is around 70° Celsius: Is this a normal temperature for the idle status, or is this temperature too high?

CPU core temp MUCH higher than package temp

The CPU core temperature is MUCH higher than the package. The core sometime reaches 105 degrees Celsious and the package barely reaches 60 Celsious. Why is that? Will this damage my CPU? I got an AMD A8-6600K. I use HW monitor. Sometimes the package…

Fans go to max without CPU stress in Arch Linux

My fans run very fast sometimes when I play media in Firefox (music, videos, video streams); sometimes even a notification sound from social media sites is enough. It does not always happen but it gets more and more frequent. The funny thing is that…

Is it possible to show an overlay with CPU temp and freq when not playing?

I actually learned to use RTSS and HWinfo to display an overlay with CPU temp and CPU frequency, but this solution seems to work only when I'm playing. There is a way or another program that can add an overlay to display me those values (I need only…

Will just a couple of thermal "trip" shutdowns typically damage a CPU?

The short version If a CPU gets so hot that the system turns itself off because of a thermal trip signal just a couple of times, is it likely that the CPU will be damaged? Or does the trip do its job, turning it off before the CPU gets damaged?…

Does spread spectrum clocking degrade a CPU's performance and cause it to operate at higher temperatures?

Does spread spectrum clocking cause a CPU to operate at higher temperatures? If so, why? Spread spectrum clocking minutely varies a CPU's clock speed to spread out RFI to meet FCC and EU guidelines. I disabled spread spectrum in my BIOS, and my CPU…

How do I make my FX-8350 stop throttling at 64ºC?

If my AMD FX-8350 reaches 64-65ºC it kinda resets to lower the temperature, then starts going up again, reaches 64ºC and goes down again. Here's a picture of it happening: The second dip is because I stopped prime95, but the first one was after…
