A 19% > reduction in CPU temperature!! 0_0 I saved messages, sddm log and the Xorg log.  Honestly tho, they will be different because the live DVD uses the kernel drivers, nouveau, where I use Nvidia.  Still, I got them anyway.  Several years ago, I took the CPU cooler off my main rig.  I dunked the fin part into some heavy duty cleaner that cleans off dirt and dust.  They wasn't to bad really since I blow them clean with compressed air from my compressor pretty regular.  Still, it looked new when I was done.  I used alcohol and a toothbrush to clean the old paste off of the base.  The original paste was what came with the CPU I think.  I'm pretty sure I put Arctic Silver on the second time.  I can't remember the exact amount but it did cool better after a few updates and some compiling.  I don't know if it was the fin cleaning or the thermal paste or both tho.  I think Arctic Silver is still considered a good brand and very good product.  I'm pretty sure it never dries out.  Even some cheaper generic brands are quite good.  I'm going to compare some data between the Gentoo live DVD and my install.  If I don't see something obvious, I'm going to fix my partition boo boo with a fresh start.  While at it.  What is the best way to wipe the partition data from a m.2 stick?  They not spinning rust so don't want to try to dd or use shred on the whole thing.  Doesn't gdisk have a wipe partition option?  Curious what you think is the best way to do that.  Don't want to shorten the life of my m.2 stick.  Dale :-)  :-)  P. S.  Ended up with a LOT of dried basil.  Now I'm drying hot banana and jalapeno peppers.  Suspect my eyes will water when I warm up supper.  '_'
