| Jan 13, 2023 at 16:26 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | @marcelm: It's a useful thing to check for other future readers with the same symptom but different circumstances from the OP of this question. It's definitely relevant in a StackExchange answer to this question, whether or not it's directly relevant to the querent. But yes, agreed that happening during compile does rule out the OP having a crypto miner, and with Dan that this CPU probably shouldn't get that hot even running Prime95. (IIRC, AMD CPUs do turbo themselves right up to their thermal limits, if electrical current supply and max-frequency allow.) | |
| Jan 13, 2023 at 12:56 | comment | added | Dan M. | @ErikKnowles most CPUs shouldn't reach that temp regardless of the workload under normal cooling conditions. | |
| Jan 12, 2023 at 15:49 | comment | added | Erik Knowles | @marcelm: It is relevant if there's cpu-bound malware that's already taxing the cpu's cooling capacity before the code compilation even begins. | |
| Jan 10, 2023 at 17:18 | comment | added | marcelm | "a cryptocurrency miner that's pegging the CPU" - OP specified that they're seeing 100°C when compiling code, so I don't think this is relevant. | |
