Just as a note on a possible explanation for your observations in your |
| 33 |
Windows boxes: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Most likely (CMIIW), when you notice the CPU and HDD temps rise, you |
| 36 |
are actively doing video editing - a CPU and memory *and* hard drive |
| 37 |
intensive task. When hard drives are "driven hard", they heat up. When |
| 38 |
CPU's are "driven hard", they heat up. If the computers main |
| 39 |
functionality is a task that tends to "drive hard" both the CPU and |
| 40 |
the hard drive, then yes, you will see a correspondence in the CPU/HDD |
| 41 |
temperature patterns. However, this does not mean that you *cannot* |
| 42 |
drive the CPU hard without driving the HDD hard, and vice versa - just |
| 43 |
because the are both being driven hard when you do video editing does |
| 44 |
not mean that they are inextricably linked to each other in workload |
| 45 |
and temperature profile. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
What operations are being performed on your Gentoo box when you see |
| 48 |
these CPU temperature warnings? |
