Greetings Johnathan. Thank you for the reply. I have run top, and iftop, etc... The only process that is listed is as follows: Tasks: 272 total, 2 running, 270 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 7.1 us, 18.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 73.8 id, 0.7 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.1 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem : 32679644 total, 402520 free, 9889728 used, 22387396 buff/cache KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free, 0 used. 21951812 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 91 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 94.1 0.0 1540:35 kworker/7:1 This is the only worker that is currently taking up 100% of whatever core it is on. (Right now it is assigned core number 8) My kernel is version 3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64. I don't really have very much context to provide other than it wasn't a problem prior to restarting after I installed the new liquid cooler. If I can provide any further analysis, or information for a more clear view of the issue, then let me know. Thanks for getting back a reply.
