SABnzbd Forums

I have a new pc with i3 6100 cpu. My cpu temps are off the chart when downloading using sab. I know extracting can increase cpu temps. And my temps are in the 60c area when extracting. But downloading pushes into the high 80s.

Any reason downloading would spike the cpu temps so high using this program? btw - bittorent downloads cpu hits 60 or so.

Any ideas? Thanks

Deciding yEnc is CPU intensive and so is the programming language we use.
Repairing damaged files is even worse.
Unpacking is relatively light.
