Bug ID: 372839
Summary: Laptop gets to hot
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.8.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: wellend...@posteo.de
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Since a while a saw the processor temperature running on critical levels. I use
a Thinkpad W520 since three years now. Since I installed Plasma 5 the
temperature in idle condition is around 70°, if I am happy 65°. But after using
it a while it gets up to 90° or even 95°, with a processor use of maybe 10-20%
and doing nothing demanding.
I was very reluctant to change anything, but after one year being afraid that
running on this high temperatures will not be good for the hardware I finally
decided to use Cinnamon to test, if there is the same problem occuring. Here I
get temperatures around 60° under more or less idle conditions and it stays
around that. Beside the different desktop I use the same software. I try this
now a week and never got 90°.
I would love to continue to use KDE, which I used to use since 2005, what can I
do?
Thank you!
