What did you do with tuned?
tuned-adm profile powersave
?
tuned-adm profile powersave
?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I'm using balanced right now I tried powersave profile but it didn't help much
Re: Overheating Over chrome and video-watching
With Linux no browser uses the GPU for video decoding. Compared to Windows, a considerably higher CPU load and therefore faster battery drain is expected.
Re: Overheating Over chrome and video-watching
Is there a way to route videos to GPU ?
Re: Overheating Over chrome and video-watching
There is
here's how I do it, you'll need to install youtube-dl, mpv and libva (I think all available from rpmfusion)
Add these lines to ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
Code: Select all
ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=?720][fps<=?30][vcodec!=?vp9]+bestaudio/best"
hwdec
You then copy youtube url and play like so
Code: Select all
mpv https://youtube.com/watch?v=T_yZuQVDMG4
Code: Select all
mpv --hwdec=vaapi https://youtube.com/watch?v=T_yZuQVDMG4
Code: Select all
mpv --vo=gpu https://youtube.com/watch?v=T_yZuQVDMG4
vlc can also do this, again you will have to experiment (I have my Hardware accelerated decoding and Video output set to automatic) mpv and vlc are virtually identical in cpu usage and core temperature and the fan almost never comes on.
If vlc complains and won't play youtube videos I have a lua script I found on the net that fixes that.
As for chrome running hot, 2 personal recommendations
1 install brave browser
2 install this chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... cebajanakg

Re: Overheating Over chrome and video-watching
It worked great! But i got a question it doesn't seem to be playing vids from other sites for examples p---hub or other generic sites when i use the command vlc p---hub.com/..... Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks very much btw.
Thanks very much btw.
Re: Overheating Over chrome and video-watching
Here's the list of sites supported by youtube-dl https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/s ... sites.html
So it should work with mpv.
I just tried a vimeo video with vlc which worked.
The site you're talking about probably uses webm/vp8 or vp9 which is not supported on my intel sandybridge processor which is why I have it excluded, if you install libva-utils and run vainfo it'll show which profiles are supported by hw accel on your machine.
I haveIf you have a vp8 or 9 entry amend your ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf to read ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=?720][fps<=?30]+bestaudio/best" or just comment out the line # and see if it works
