I am experiencing shutdowns of my pc due to overheat of CPU.
Running the command "sensors" I got the following output
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +66.0°C (crit = +101.0°C)
temp2: +66.0°C (crit = +101.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +61.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +61.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
As you can see high and crit temperatures have the same threshold (105.0°C)
I am wondering if maybe fan do not speed up to cool the CPU since it waits to reach the high threshold that is the same threshold that will shutdown the PC.
How could I set the high threshold to the correct temperature of 70°C?

With command:
You can see what options are available for each physical chip.
Create file in
/etc/sensors.d/
:then edit new file with:
label temp2 "Core 0"
only change label;compute temp2 @-20,@-20
reduce high temperature of 20 degrees (first @-20) and critic temperature also of 20 degrees (second @-20)Now, typing
sensors
you should see the new settings.Note
Refer to
man sensors.conf
