HOWTO : Lower CPU Loading With ulimit on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

ulimit can change the number of process on Linux. One of the features is to lower the CPU loading with it when you have a low end CPU. The lower the CPU loading the lower the CPU temperature.



sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf



Append the following lines at the end of the file.



* soft nproc 10240

root soft nproc 10240




You can replace "10240" up to "65535".



That's all! See you.
