Yesterday I tested on my Core2Duo, a video on youtube on full screen, and as I told you guys before, my cooler use to accelerate a bit. I usually don't hear it's noise, and when I play something with flash CPU use increses...
Well, on my latest test, my CPU usage came to 107%, as my processor is dual core, that means 100% of a thread and 7% of the second one... And all that only on the *plugin-containe* process... You might want to check how much CPU% that process require on your machine Ali, an *sudo top* might be better for this task! PS: 68 C - 70 C is still acceptable. Most BIOS have auto-shutdown at about 85 to 92 degrees celsius... 2013/7/12 Phill Whiteside <phi...@ubuntu.com> > Hi, > > I have one of these... http://phillw.net/hardware/aDU4RVzY A Win7 machine > with a decent graphic card and 4 GB of RAM.
