Top shows it running in the 50%-60% range. It's sending my CPU temp up high enough to bump the BIOS overheat warning frequently. That setting is currently 78C/172F, and rebooting while the temp was elevated showed a temp of 70C, with similarly elevated temps on the other sensors. So far the only way I know to make the beeping stop is to drop to runlevel 3. But 50/60% only for kded or total usage ?! I'm asking this because 70C with CPU at 50/60% is too high for me..
After cooldown, fresh cleaning, reboot directly into BIOS, & 20 min uptime, temp is at 61C.
I still think is too much. With my old athlon XP2800 overclocked, I reach 66C (in summer) after playing doom3 for few hours.. Try doom or something similar and see what happens.. Rebuilding the kernel (on another big software..) is another possible test..
The CPU is a socket 478 P4 3.0G, about 5 years old, but I don't remember whether Prescott or Northwood. Fans & heat sinks are all clean and working.
I dont know what to say, P4 CPUs heat like a nuclear plant. So all is possible..
How do I figure out what is making KDED use so much CPU, and stop it without having to log out?
Sorry, I don't know but follow my advice, change heat sink and/or fans..
