Running command above (and so 'gpg' process) my system becomes unstable (auto key pressing etc.), and temperature is jumped to 55 C for 1, and 88 C for 2 in one minute. Top command returned 'gpg' cpu-usage 99%. Is it a debian problem or a notebook strange behavior? I have an acer 1524wlmi. >> >>It's normal for CPU activity to increase heat.

And it doesn't show unstability. I'll continue test for many hours again. > > Thanks, > Giulio > > You should also try burnK7 of the cpuburn package. Unfortunately there isn't an amd64 deb of cpuburn, but it works fine in my i386 chroot. This thread inspired me to run a few tests to see what program makes my CPU run the hottest. My somewhat overclocked machine had been running for over a month, even with me playing games in hotter weather than it is now -- and burnK7 crashed my computer. I wrote a script to test several programs and graph the temperatures reached. I thought it might be of general interest so I attached it and the output on my machine. Run the script with no arguments for a usage explanation. It's meant to be tweaked and I wrote it in such a way that it should be easy to do so. Just put the script in an empty directory somewhere first; it makes a lot of intermediate data files when it runs the tests. I won't be around for the next week but I wanted to get that out before this thread sinks into oblivion. -Corey
