CLOSED: High fan speed
Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2021 7:11 am
Hi
I have set up Amahi on an old Dell laptop. I did an install as recommended, no problems.
I added a line in the systemd configuration to ignore the lid closure.
It was running fine then I added the Disk Wizard and Disk Stats apps. Then I added two disks and changed most of the default shares to use them. Since then, the fan has been running at top speed all the time. I'm sure it's not because the CPU is getting hot because there's nothing happening on the HDA, it's a home network with only a handful of devices and I haven't started using it yet. I would like a quiet HDA.
Can you recommend anything?
Is i8k as an option?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
