Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:42:20 +0100 (BST) From: "Trevor Hemsley" <trevor.hemsley@...world.com> To: "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Temperature above threshold loop with 2.6.31.1 Hi I just downloaded and installed the latest 2.6.31.1 kernel on my machine here and I think I found a small bug. Shortly after boot I start to receive messages like CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 21672) This is on an Intel D975XBX2 motherboard with an Intel Xeon X3220 2.4GHz quad core chip installed (the Xeon equivalent of a Q6600). The BIOS reports the cpu temperature as being consistently 51C which may be a bit on the high side but not dangerously so. And, yes, I'm aware that this might be a valid temperature warning and I aim to dismantle the machaine and check everything out over the weekend but... More importantly, I get approximately 100,000 of these messages per minute and the machine is completely unusable. All of these are for CPU0 - at least all the ones that get written to /var/log/messages. 1,666 notifications a second seems a little on the 'too frequent' side of things to me :-) Please cc me on any replies as I'm not subscribed to the list.
