The temperature of the cpu goes up when it is performing tasks for a 'longish' time.
heating of the cpu can be as well extremely fast (some seconds) or pretty long, including several minutes of inactivity, mostly because cooling problems. usually cpu's have protecting systems that switch them off in such situation, I never broke recent (less than 6 years) cpu this way. The most common problem if fan stopping or going too slow. Historically, I heard of problems with not enouth cooling grease between the radiator and the cpu but didn't suffer such thing myself. the fan problem is very often due to the fact that the fan axes lack lubrication. Unmounting the fan, adding very little oil and it start again. but I had also a computer (on my table near me right now) where the hardware system controll of the fan was faulty (laptop). I simply soldered the fan to the near usb jack alimentation. Now it always run and do noise, but the computer do no more switch off by itself. that said I often have got computers much too crowded of fans that could be unplugged without problem to save noise (26°C is *not* hot, I have every summer more than 35°C at home). I also have got one computer with faulty bios alarm that prevented it from booting without bipping and had to be unactivated. if your computer is not filled with dust (cleaning is always a very good idea), and you hear the fan running, a temp of 90°C right in the bios is very unlikely use "sensors" to test: linux-zckr:/home/jdd # sensors nouveau-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter fan1: 6300 RPM temp1: +57.0°C (high = +95.0°C, hyst = +3.0°C) (crit = +105.0°C, hyst = +5.0°C) (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst = +5.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +36.0°C (high = +89.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +39.0°C (high = +89.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
