Yeah, even with my NUC that had a pretty decent fan running at top speed I literally put a block of metal I kept in the freezer on top of it to keep it from downthrottling due to overheating. It was ridiculous that it could let itself get that hot instead of doing something more graceful.
- copperx 6y agoPlease share the name of the NUC so others can avoid it.
- neltnerb 6y agoIt's a 5th generation core i7 in the Intel NUC. It's been off the market for four years and the thermal issues were known and addressed in the intervening years to the best of my understanding. I'm just saying that linux does not do a great job of gracefully limiting CPU power to avoid a lower BIOS level limiter kicking in and performing worse than if it just throttled down a bit earlier.
