Stress Test (kernel compile)

[Thra11]

When compiling for a long time on all cores, mine can get warm too. I've noticed that if it gets too hot, the red LED next to the power cable flashes instead of being steady, and it doesn't appear to charge (or only charges very slowly). I assume this is the charging circuit refusing to charge the battery when it's too hot (IIRC, LiPo batteries can catch fire/explode if they overheat). if someone can confirm that this is what the flashing red LED means, we could add it to the wiki. Whether the laptop overheats and gradually discharges, or manages to slowly charge seems to vary depending on how well it can dissipate heat from the case: Sitting on my lap or on an insulating surface -> overheating, discharging, Resting in a position with the base exposed to the air -> gradual charging.
