Overheating Issue in Vivaldi

[deepanshu188]

I have tried different chromium browsers but only when I use Vivaldi i face the overheating & fans make louder noise on my laptop. Previously I have used Vivaldi on windows & there was no such issue on windows. Tried a different distro, DE & right now using a simple Window Manager.

For me overheating was reduced with 22.04 Ubuntu, so maybe try something else.

@deepanshu188 I presume that before posting you've tried all these?

• https://forum.vivaldi.net/search?term=Overheating&in=titlesposts&matchWords=all&sortBy=relevance&sortDirection=desc&showAs=posts
• Tested in a clean test profile via vivaldi-stable --profile-directory="NewTestProfile"
• Experimented with the chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist toggle.
• Experimented with the commandline switches --disable-gpu-rasterization, --disable-gpu-compositing, --disable-gpu

@guigirl I have tried clearing the profile but not the other two. let me see if it works.

@deepanshu188
Hi, start with --disable-gpu first, it disabled the hardware acceleration completely.

Cheers, mib

[deepanshu188]

@mib2berlin Ok

[deepanshu188]

@guigirl Didn't work

Are you using a desktop compositor.?.If so please disable and try again.
i was experiencing the same and it was a compositing issue.

[deepanshu188]

@Priest72 yeah Picom, OK let me try disabling it.

@Priest72 Thanks, it worked!
