- I will try the clock trick thx! btw, I use psensor to monitor the cpu temperature; there is a single temperature that gets crazed on high load k10temp-pci-00c3, the machine beeps, and if beeps too long it shuts down.. I dont care what other applications are doing, even if IO, the application that has focus should work at best and the other should calm down; I improved the cooling system, may be not well enough.. but I am still not sure it will help considering the load goes above 4.0 (on quad core)? so I am focusing on lowering the load, even if I get a better cooling system (with peltier).Aquarius Power– Aquarius Power2013-10-07 17:10:27 +00:00Commented Oct 7, 2013 at 17:10
- You might also be able to turn off a core or two and not have to reduce the clock speed. A computer that is using half its cores is infinitely faster than one that shut down because of thermal overload.msw– msw2013-10-07 17:16:34 +00:00Commented Oct 7, 2013 at 17:16
- but my system load gets above 4.0, if I shutdown any, the limit will lower too! I only get the overheat when load goes above 4.0; below it the machine runs fine! thats why I believe even with a better cooling system I may still have problems..Aquarius Power– Aquarius Power2013-10-07 17:27:23 +00:00Commented Oct 7, 2013 at 17:27
- If the load average (that is, number of jobs in the ready-to-run state) goes above 4, the others will just have to wait. You can't use more than 100% of a core even if there are 23 jobs ready to use it.msw– msw2013-10-07 23:10:53 +00:00Commented Oct 7, 2013 at 23:10
- I just did something interesting; I put all processes to nice 19, less the one process I am currently using; the temperature on psensor graph got much more normal now, it was very unstable (too high/too low); also I saw the system load go to above 6.0 (once only) and the temperature wasnt that high! all processes were working properly as expected also. I think this need more tests to have some better conclusion...Aquarius Power– Aquarius Power2013-10-08 02:01:51 +00:00Commented Oct 8, 2013 at 2:01

How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
