An interesting overview by a well-known security geek named Colin Percival, of FreeBSD. Pay attention to the section called Understanding the...
It's all because of fan #2, lolz...damned thing must be creating a vortex
Let's just say it's not random 'nonsense': https://thebulletin.org/2018-doomsday-clock-statement
Well, for one, either the core temp or temp 1 is wrong; the core temp can't be 39 if temp 1 is a CPU-related temp under load, as I think you were...
George, show me the output of this: apt-get install -s intel-microcode
Sorry, m'man, I meant #26: https://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/mint-upgrade.2375/page-2#post-17888
But your Speedfan temps are useless...you really should try to find out HOW hot everything really is. It shows your GPU at 27C. That's not hot at...
in Gentoo it's a dependency of the driver package, it's called nvidia-settings. You most likely have it as well.
Here are the codenames for the actual processor models that microcode has been released for [some incompletely]:...
That is the latest long-term kernel available from Mint ATM, so it looks like you've succeeded. To check, run the two commands in post #6 again, and...

This is an interesting little tool I found: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/check-linux-server-for-spectre-meltdown-vulnerability/ Clone it into a...
Just use 'sudo' + the command I gave you, and enter. The system will ask you for your root password.
Probably his Speedfan configuration isn't correct, and it's reporting the wrong temps. There are a lot of settings under the hood in that little gem...
It's hard to find the benchmark acceptable temps in F, though...good luck with that. What is the idle temp in F?
Oh, man, I've just realized the Speedfan window is reporting in degrees F. Most folks use C when discussing CPU/computer temps. The temps are most...
NM, I just looked it up. I did not even know that thing existed. Can't help you with it; I only run the v7 clients from the download page. If you...
What is this Chrome client? I have no idea.
The 965 Black Edition saga has been moved to the Hardware forum. Let's keep this thread for Spectre and Meltdown mitigation, boys.
Those temperatures don't look even remotely possible/correct. Are you folding with the GPU?
