I was just trying to open my transmission dashboard! 😄

I hope so too! I’m not running a lot on this box. Just a few containers and avahi.

I installed a thing called lm-sensors on debian and it shows me this during a time when the box is struggling -

Every 1.0s: sensors

coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +44.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +38.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 3: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

acpitz-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface temp1: +0.0°C (crit = +119.0°C)

Seems to be working fine.

Unless the thermal throttling limits are set by the BIOS and I’ll have to go looking into that by rebooting?

Resources also seemed ok - RAM was 2 GB used out of 16 and all the cores were at 10-15% usage, according to htop.

It’s fanless! How can I check for thermal throttling? Is that a bios setting?

The server kinda stops completely responding when it’s doing a heavy download… so I can’t get to those stats. But the other commenter has recommended I use https://github.com/henrygd/beszel so I’ll check it out and see what the data reveals. I believe, based on how the system freezes up, that it must be the CPU hitting the roof.
