1 year ago Hello, It's strange behavior. There was a time when the Slimbook Battery, with a certain kernel, caused the CPU to always be at maximum GHz and this caused the CPU to heat up. Can you try a Live USB? Thank you
I have a Slimbook Executive 16" with an Intel CPU, which has always had temperature problems, or perhaps fans. It has always been VERY quiet, which is good apart from saving energy, but the temperature sometimes makes it unusable.
Before, under normal conditions of use it was around 60ºC at rest, which is a lot and made it impossible to use it on your knees, but you could work with it without problems. But for 2-4 weeks now (update to Ubuntu 23.10?), even without doing anything it gets to 60ºC or more after 5 minutes, and in about 10 minutes it already reaches more than 80ºC with a CPU usage that does not reach the 10%, activating the ThermalTrothle (with the loss of performance that entails) and when doing normal web browsing it easily exceeds 90-95ºC, making it difficult to even type on it. At no time do I hear the fans activate, and only by paying close attention can I hear a small hum.
I don't know what the origin of the problem is, if I haven't checked before it was because I was away and couldn't take the equipment to technical service if necessary, and also because it was "usable", but something has changed in recent weeks that has put you in a worse situation. He looked for alternatives to adjust the fans and found none. By pressing the "performance" button on the keyboard, the fans are activated to maximum, but the CPU temperature also rises from 85ºC to 97ºC, which is not a solution (and pressing it again deactivates the performance mode, stopping the fans , and returns to 85ºC). I would like some option to be able to regulate the speed of the fans, either manually or better automatically, and not depend on using the ThermalThrotle continuously, or at least have different modes depending on whether it is on batteries or connected to the mains.
