Overheating while compiling an Android ROM
Hey all- I've got a T61 with an X9000 processor that I used to (partially) compile an Android ROM from source with this evening. I got about 25% of the way through the job, (2 hours) and noticed that the temperature was holding between 96 and 100 degrees C. I shut the process down shortly thereafter. I put thermal paste on the CPU about 2yrs ago. The paste was some old Arctic Seal that I had laying around. I've just ordered some of the new Arctic MX-4 paste. I will try this and see if it makes a difference. Current temp under no load is 54 C. Thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

Re: Overheating while compiling an Android ROM
Idle temp of 50+ deg C is too high in my books. New thermal paste might help but might not considering you applied it 2 years ago which is not that long ago. Back then did you stress/stability test the CPU before deciding that it was fit for duty? That CPU will run hot unless you underclock it.

Re: Overheating while compiling an Android ROM
I agree. In my experience Only X series Thinkpads idle at over 50c. Underclocking aside, have you undervolted the CPU? What thermal paste are you using?Cigarguy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 2:00 amIdle temp of 50+ deg C is too high in my books.

Re: Overheating while compiling an Android ROM
What is the method for undervolting these units? Throttlestop? RMclock? Recommended settings?
