System running hot
We' re running PCLinuxOS, fully updated. This is a Toshiba P75 P7200 which seems to fold really great even at the lowest level. Wow. However for over a year now we've notice that our power supply gets really hot and a couple of weeks ago just stopped working. We finally got another one and in the meantime replaced the paste on the CPU. Tried the machine again this morning but after a while the ps is again really hot. So, not being able to afford another $30 for another ps, we used the webpage to stop folding - sigh

Re: System running hot
If it did not run hot before, something must have changed. A CPU or GPU does not get just accidentially become hotter for no reason.frazelle09 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 5:35 pm Do you suppose this machine just folds "hot" or... ?? Any thoughts?
Do not just change paste, but check your cooler for dust, also do this on your powersupply. Also check airflow. If something blocks the airflow this might be the reason.

Re: System running hot
Wow. What a quick reply! Thanks guys. i especially appreciate the answer from promeneur although our PCLinuxOS system does not use systemend so, as much as i'd like to use his solution, it looks like we're going to have to try Bruce's.
i also just learned that apparently "threads" also means "cpus" in fah-speak. That's really good to know - lol.
Have a radiant morning and please be happy!

Re: System running hot
This cheap Power supply is rated at 90 watts, quite a bit more that the stock Toshiba.

Re: System running hot
>> our PCLinuxOS system does not use systemd
Before openSUSE uses systemd the method was :
put the statements cpulimit in the file /etc/rc.d/boot.local
For example put in the file /etc/rc.d/boot.local the statements
then restart the PC
