| Mar 22, 2018 at 13:39 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @WinEunuuchs2Unix Clearly there's enough information in the question that it doesn't qualify as too broad. Too localized perhaps but not too broad. Cheers! I'm off to troubleshoot a Windows installation. (I get paid for that). | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 5:47 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | Why bother with old questions? Because we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about Ubuntu. Because every person I talk to about AU tells me they nearly always find the answer before they need to ask. The only thing special about new questions is that the OP probably needs help, but SE questions are not primarily for their askers. | |

| Mar 22, 2018 at 0:32 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ElderGeek Twitter style part 2: The critical levels (read shutdown) is 100C-105C and Powerclamp kicks in around 86C (if you remember to install it). Once again only the old Toshiba and old Dell got hot (had to replace fans, compressed air, etc.). But the new Skylake the fan doesn't even come on. Actually it has two fans that don't come on unless it's gaming in Windows. | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 0:28 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ElderGeek I hate to say it but I don't even use my reading glasses with my cell phone. Even though the resolution is 1920x1080 it's only a six inch screen. By comparison my laptop screen is same resolution at 17.4" and TV is same resolution at 50". You can actually see what you are reading instead of guessing :) As far as 75C goes it was typical for my older Toshiba Celeron Duo T5750 and and older Dell IvyBridge 3630QM but the new Alienware Skylake 6700HQ is currently running at 48C. I would prefer question asked "How can I make my laptop run cooler" rather than "Is 75C normal?". | |
| Mar 22, 2018 at 0:13 | comment | added | Elder Geek | @WinEunuuchs2Unix I can't imagine trying to vet this stuff on my cell phone. The screen is too small for my old eyes. I only skimmed the answers to be honest. My opinion is strictly hardware based. depending on the hardware 75C might just be fatal to some components. For instance raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#performanceOperatingTemperature | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 22:44 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ElderGeek My last comment was quickly done on my cell phone. I wish I had reread the question. As it turns out the new answer that made me wonder if the question was too broad has been deleted. Now all that remains are old answers to an old question so I'll side with you, Dan and Karel. Especially as Dan points out the review queues are backed up. "Is 75 degrees normal?" in the title remains subjective as it depends on what you are doing. | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 20:30 | comment | added | Elder Geek | Upon reviewing the question, IMHO it's far from too broad as the system model number and specifications are included in the question. I concur with karel on this. | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 12:21 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | Why bother? An answer which was just listed brought this to my attention. A right or wrong answer depends on a specific laptop model and sometimes OS Version. I could post three different answers based on my laptops. So the answers can grow to hundreds. Many of them wrong for the OP but probably right for the answerer. | |
| Mar 21, 2018 at 12:11 | comment | added | Dan | But why bother with old questions? Especially ones that are upvoted and answered. Unless it's harmful and should be removed from existence, I don't see any reason why to include another question to the big queue of close votes. IMO, it's just a waste of reviewers' time. I'd say, it's better to edit and salvage the question and its answers when that's possible. | |
