CPU temps unusually high running GalliumOS #452

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I own an Asus Chromebook C300 (QUAWKS). I flashed it with mrchromebox's Full ROM firmware and then installed Galliumos from the ISO. I've recently noticed that my CPU temps get really high sometimes. For example I was running sudo apt dist-upgrade in the background while playing video on YouTube the other day. I checked CPU temperatures with lm-sensors and they were about 53°C, while when I used Chrome OS they hardly went above 40°. Is this normal or do I have an issue?

It's the videos. I have the same problem. Those stupid videos on news web pages that you can't shut off will have my LINK toasty in seconds and the fan screaming.

Well that makes sense as my Chromebook has no fan

@colpanek I had the same problem with my LINK and I just changed thermal paste and it really helps with the temperature problems. Maybe it will help for your fan.

Well, dry grease would not be surprising in a 5 year old computer. Did you use regular paste or diamond-loaded unicorn dung?

I used Arctic Silver 5 and I got temp decrease of like between 7-10 degrees. The thermal paste was really dried
