Clementine Overloading Overheating CPU

Post by linuxtothebone »

Hi There,

Clementine consistently overloads my cpu. HP8560p i5 4gb Ram. when running it the temperature is around 80 deg C sometimes 87! when I shut Clementine down it sits around 50/60 deg C. firefox can increase things a little but only when watching media, generally around 60 deg C.
Latest Clementine version installed 1.3.1.

Does anyone else find the same issue? or can anyone help me solve it? its a great music software but itll cook my cpu sooner rather than later and I am not keen on that.

Im on mint cinnamon 18.3 all updated.

Thanks in advance

By all means investigate why Clementine is so processor intensive, but surely it's worth checking your fan, heatsink and thermal compound.
