My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.
Super lazy on HP to design such protection to be dependent on the OS. A good realtime priority set of threads could probably keep it running hot for longer by blocking the protection program.
That protection should be part of the system firmware.
It used to be part of the CPU itself. Intels would throttle themselves down when reaching critical temperatures. Is that no longer the case?
It’s there on AMD cpus, it’ll shut down the cpu if you forgot your heatsink for some reason even on the AM5 cpus.
No bug found, working as intended.
Yeah this is awful. It will probably stop working when Microsoft releases whatever they call the next version of Windows like 8 months from now.
Did y’all sleep through the HP printer enshittification? No one should buy HP ever.
We use HP laptops at work, feels like a huge step down from the Dell machines we used at my old job.
BTW: I absolutely agree with your nickname.
Raspberry is the best berry. I even have some distilled alcohol msde from Raspberries, gives an amazing raspberry aftertaste when mixed with sprite
Why does it force the processor over the limit in the first place?
I think in every other laptop the CPU just throttles when it gets too hot. Meaning it can never exceed the maximum temperature. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding or if HP actually did away with all of that and designed a laptop that will cook itself.
And it’s not even a good design decision to shutdown the PC if someone runs a game… Aren’t computers meant to run them? Why not automatically lower the framerate by throttling? Why shut down instead?
On Windows there is an odd way of throttling which only sometimes triggers and lowers CPU frequency to 1380 MHz. It is bypassable via custom power plan. As I said, it only sometimes triggers. On Linux iGPU is never throttled and CPU is throttled around 97 C to speeds slightly below max MHz. Shutting down is, under normal circumstances, for situations where throttling fails. I have another laptop which successfully throttles and keeps temps below 90C.
