Ah yes, I forgot to mention that the heatsink must be unclogged.  They
don't radiate heat away effectively if air can't readily flow over the
fins.

Cans of compressed air, with a straw on the nozzle, can be useful for
clearing the cruft out of heatsink fins.  Do it outdoors, the mess goes
everywhere (including your eyes and lungs).

Don't use an air compressor, the blast is strong enough to do physical
damage, as well as with static electricity.

You need to be careful removing heatsinks, some of the assemblies don't
want to come apart without breaking.  Likewise, when replacing
assemblies, they need to firmly attach.  If they won't, you're better
off to buy a new assembly.  Sometimes you find that the fan's bearings
are wearing out, or clogging up, and you want to replace the fan.

I've grown to hate those plasticky push down and click heatsink things.
 There's some with a hook and lever which are better, but obviously can
only attach to suitable motherboards / CPU sockets.  The bolt down Mac
ones seem a much more robust way of doing things, and necessary with
the really huge heatsinks they were using.

If this is a recent problem, can you clean up the heatsink?  

I am not familiar with the liquid cooled systems.  If you have one of
those refer to their manual for routine maintenance.

Otherwise if it is a fan cooled version:

This typically requires more than just vacuuming the outside. 
Typically you have to remove the heatsink and fan, and use a brush or
q-tips to ferret out the various dustbunnies in the nooks and crannies
that are near the CPU. 


Most heatsinks have retainers that hook down to the socket.  look
carefully at how the hooks engage and look for a lever to release them.
Open ONLY that lever.  Do not open the wire lever under the socket, it
holds the cpu to the socket.

 You will need to be careful not to pull the CPU from its socket,
because if you do that without releasing the socket, the pins will bend
(if it is a pinned CPU) if it is BGA, you risk "smearing" the balls. 
So that requires care.  Its not difficult, just don't "rip" the heat
sink off, but pull it slowly from the grip of the adhesive bond of the
heatsink compound.

Once it is off, remove the fan, typically 4 screws, then using a small
tool, like a lady's finger care orange stick to ferret out all the hair
balls and dustbunnies.  You can also wash the heatsink in warm soapy
water, it's aluminum, just like an aluminum cooking pot.

Clean the top of the CPU with a static free rag and a small amount of
alcohol to ensure a good contact area of the heatsink compound.

To replace the heatsink, re-attach the fan, noting the lenght of cord
to connect to the motherboard for the fan, so orient it as required,
Then add a single drop of heatsink compound at the center of the CPU.
Just a single drop.  Then sort of "wiggle" the heatsink down to spread
the compound.  Close the retainer as you had to do to remove the
heatsink.

That's it.  Your cpu should be cooling as designed.

You can also check out some videos on line.

Because of Tim's comment, I did a search for any info on this, and
found this video on youtube that addresses exactly this question:

No cigar, the fridge just isn't designed to dissipate that kind of heat
on a continuous basis.  Saved me the time, money, and effort. :-)

it make any difference.
You see monstrous warehouses of Bitcoin computers, and humungous fans 
and air conditioning systems on TV, but you are probably not running a 
computer
under those conditions. In reality, those computers would probably not 
run at all due to overheating in a hot closed environment and 
insufficient cooling.

I just did that, and nothing more (I hadn't, yet, got around to making
a rc.local file and putting anything in it), and got this back in
terminal:


# systemctl enable rc-local.service
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.


My intention was to put this in rc.local, so I didn't have to keep
issuing the commands, as root, every bootup:

#!/bin/sh
#

# plugged in SD CARDs have wrong filedates, this is to correct that:
hwclock --systohc --utc

BTW, I think you should check the times on this.  If I recall correctly "start" 
will
not work on rc-local since it designed to run just once at boot time.

So, I don't think that "systemctl -l start rc-local" can be used as a 
diagnostic tool.

When you run it by hand.  We're trying to find out what happens when it 
runs (if it runs) at boot.

Two things that often cause rc.local failures:

1. Having a different $PATH as root than as your normal user.

2. If you are trying to start a long running process
   (Like launch a daemon), the "new and improved"
   systemd will helpfully kill it off for you
   shortly after it is started.

This has led me to transform my rc.local script into this:

/usr/bin/at -M now <<'HERE' > /dev/null 2>&1
/etc/rc.d/the-real-rc.local
HERE

Then move everything I used to be able to put in rc.local
into the-real-rc.local instead (sheesh!)

Oh yea, silliest thing to check:

Is rc.local executable, does the first line start with #!/bin/sh ?

I don't recall how I found my mistake.  I do remember putting in a few "touch"
commands in the script to create files and thereby narrow down where in the 
script
I'd gone wrong.

I'm sure I read that on this list, but it was quite a long time ago so
I may have misunderstood or misremembered. Obviously it was always
static in traditional Unix/Linux systems but with systemd one can never
be sure. Note that the man page recommends it not be used, so I wonder
how long it will continue to be supported.

There's probably a proper way to do that, but until somebody finds it,

That's why you use rc.local.  It's a shell script called at the end of
boot that you can use for any special or non-standard stuff you want or
need done.

Note that you now have to explicitly enable rc.local to make it run at
boot time:

# systemctl enable rc-local.service

Who told you that?  It is a "static" service and need not be enabled.

You should then do "systemctl status rc-local" to see if you get (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS).  It is possible that the environment isn't the same when run 
by
hand.  Or, there could be another reason why a script would fail in "unattended"
mode.   I ran into that a few years back where it seemed the script wasn't 
running
but in fact was failing for an altogether different reason which I can't recall.

You can check which governor was compiled as default in your kernel by
running grep -i on the config file in /boot for your running kernel.
Because I compile my own kernel, I set that to ondemand as part of the
configuration during the build.  One way to solve your problem would be
to compile your own kernel, and set it to what you want.

This might get you closer.  I didn't see anything directly relevant on

I've thought about buying one of those little fridges and putting the
system in it.  Some advantages:

- keeps the system cool (set the fridge to 70F (20C), or even lower)
- closes off the noise of the system, I think fridges are quieter
- keeps dust out of the system

Would have to cut holes for the cables, and seal them.  And it would be
bulkier.

One of these days.  Maybe.

Sounds like you have inadequate cooling, and that's going to be a long
term problem that mayn't be avoided by what you're trying to do.

Hot components need a large enough heatsink to dissipate their heat,
and it needs to be firmly attached, with heatsink compound filling the
tiny gap between chip and heatsink.

Heatsinks need to have a fan, or other heat distribution scheme, to
make the heat radiate away sufficiently, and quickly enough.

The case needs to have airflow that brings in fresh air, and expels hot
air (running a case with the cover off can prevent adequate airflow
*across* things, likewise with other obstacles in the case).  Even
systems that use liquid cooling still need to move air through the
computer case, because not everything that generates heat will be
directly connected to the cooling system.

There's probably a proper way to do that, but until somebody finds it, 
put that into a shell script and call it from rc.local.


So far, the ways I have found on google search have not survived
a reboot :(


That's why you use rc.local.  It's a shell script called at the end of 
boot that you can use for any special or non-standard stuff you want or 
need done.
