So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It’s mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It’s as if I’m running on 2gb of ram and a cpu at like 1.5ghz. My specs are:
i7-8700k at 4.7mhz max
Amd Rx 6750xt
16gb ram at 3200mhz
Linux is on an m.2
Any ideas? This is practically unusable for any normal operations, let alone any gaming.
This is it. CPU is throttling itself due to high temps. Not i just need to figure out why it’s so hot
Hot CPU?
Is the CPU fan running?
Is CPU usage stuck high?
A lot of dust in the cooler fins?
Is it a stock CPU or aftermarket?
Is the plastic sticker off of the CPU cooler?
Enough thermal paste on the CPU?
Screws tightened down enough on CPU cooler?
That’s pretty much the order of diagnosing CPU air cooler problems lol
Or tightened too much? And/or unevenly?
Is your cooling system on?
