But 50/60% only for kded or total usage ?!
kded was using 90%-95% of total usage.
It's sending my CPU temp up high enough to bump the BIOS overheat warning frequently.
You have to different problems:
· One, that kded is using too much cpu.
Sort of. This has only happened twice. Total CPU ATM is 0.3%. I don't know how to trigger it, and thus can take no steps to find its source. If and when that happens, I can try the steps Dirk Müller provided upthread.
· Two, your cooling system can't cope.
1-It does well enough under normal justifiable load conditions. Without KDED looping, load rarely goes above 10% for more than a few seconds at a time. 2-The box is 5 years old and on 10.2. I never could figure out how to get sensors to work on it. A replacement box has already been built. I'm just trying to figure out which OS to install before installing and placing in service. ATM I'm looking for a workaround to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11418 so that I can use 11.1. If I can't it appears I'll have to goto 10.3 and hope that bug gets fixed before 11.2 gets released. On the new box I think the BIOS can slow down the CPU automatically if temp goes above threshhold temp if the OS cannot.
The cpu cooling system has to be able to keep the cpu below the maximum temp even if it runs at 100% load full time. If that is not possible, the CPU or the operating system should be able to take measures like lowering the cpu frequency and/or decreasing the load (idle cycles, for instance), but I'm not aware of whether Linux can do this. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."
