When hibernation begins, the computer saves the contents of its random access memory (RAM) to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage. So yes it does cut your Internet connection. > I managed to output the GPU/CPU temperature like this > > #! /bin/zsh > # https://dataswamp.org/~incal/conf/.zsh/misc-hw > temperature () { > local gpu=$(sensors -j | jq -a > '.["nouveau-pci-0100"].temp1.temp1_input') > local cpu=$(sensors -j | jq -a '.["k10temp-pci-00c3"].Tdie.temp1_input') > echo "GPU ${gpu}C" > echo "cpu ${cpu}C" > } > alias temp=temperature > > Perhaps one should leave those on? > > But I also have, connected to the motherboard > > fan front low be quiet!

Even if it would be possible, something that I have doubt. As there's some self protection enabled in the management system. Maybe you are playing in something you don't really master the ins and out of the consequence of what you may do. And this is proven by the simple sentence that *hibernation cut Internet*. Unless you have a good reason to risk frying your CPU then leave it alone. Or buy a system that doesn't use a fan, like the low power, low thermal emission CPU used in laptop with only passive cooling (heatsink). > TIA > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
