Lemmy is my laptop cooked? - eviltoast

On my system monitor my laptop idles at 80+ degrees celsius

EDIT: strangely enough, it has a similar temperature on high load

EDIT2: Yes I think I will order thermal paste

    Addendum, that ‘similar temperatue on high load’ is because it’s thermal throttled at that point. See that it went from 2.9GHz to 1.6GHz. It won’t ever reach 100 degrees or close to that because of this safety feature.
