The values shown below are after correcting this and replacing all the fans with high-end quiet versions (except the power supply). When I first bought this computer, the manufacturer hadn’t attached the CPU cooler correctly and I ran for a while with the cores permanently throttling themselves at 100 degrees. I don’t think this is particularly dangerous, but some might. Maybe this has arisen because my desktop PC hardware is 4 years old and newer motherboards are better integrated with modern Linux, but this is what I needed to do to solve this problem.Ĭaveat – if you’re not comfortable running your PC without fans for a time, don’t bother going any further. There are various articles around on the internet, but this has been a constant problem for me so I thought I’d collect together all the info I need to provide a reference for the future. On my desktop computer, I am able to control the fans under Windows using software provided by the motherboard manufacturer, but it is not obvious how to do this under Ubuntu.
