Top reported load to be 12 - 15, which is normally still workable, but with the overheating CPU, I couldn't do a thing.

If it's overheating there should be two things telling you this:

• sensors
• throttled CPU speed

Something you can check without ears or being in the datacenter. Deducing from fan noise that it's overheating or even that the fan is running at full power isn't really convincing.

Hi Kai,

How do I check the sensors & throttling?
