I have updated my laptop to 7.4 CR this morning and found that there have been a lot of logs on two fronts for the first time. 1. The kernel has indicated overheating: [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU2: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU4: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU6: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU0: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU6: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU2: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU1: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU5: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU3: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU7: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1) [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU2: Core temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU4: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU1: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU5: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU0: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU6: Core temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU3: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU7: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU6: Package temperature/speed normal [Sat Aug 26 08:58:21 2017] CPU2: Package temperature/speed normal This happened when logging into a Cinnamon desktop. The desktop background would go black when this happened and the fans went to 100%. After two minutes it quieted down. Logging in again with Cinnamon repeated it. Using the default Gnome desktop does not have this problem so this is more of a "if you are using Cinnamon you may run into this." The second was that the new nouveau driver is very noisy on the hardware. The message repeats: Sat Aug 26 13:42:36 2017] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: priv: HUB0: 6013d4 00005700 (1f408200) [Sat Aug 26 13:42:37 2017] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: priv: HUB0: 10ecc0 ffffffff (1940822c) [Sat Aug 26 13:42:37 2017] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: DRM: resuming client object trees...

The system does seem to be running hotter with the fan going louder than what i remember it being with 7.3. At this point I am mostly reporting this as a "anyone else seeing this?" type report. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
