start a lot of load, which sends my CPU up to crit temperature sometimes (but doesn't actually shut the machine down, so this number might be reported lower by BIOS): stress-ng --matrix 0 -t 3m starting thermald with log: thermald --no-daemon --loglevel=debug > /root/thermald-debug-reduced.log 2>&1 thermald correctly reduces my performance (though it's by quite a lot) but keeps it very low even when CPU temp has been very much reduced; at this time stress-ng is still running: mike@ossy /u/s/pstate-frequency> date; ./pstate-frequency -G; sensors Wed Feb 8 20:50:05 EST 2017 pstate-frequency version 3.7.2 pstate::CPU_DRIVER -> intel_pstate pstate::CPU_GOVERNOR -> performance pstate::TURBO -> 1 [OFF] pstate::CPU_MIN -> 43% [1600000KHz] pstate::CPU_MAX -> 50% [1850000KHz] asus-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter cpu_fan: 0 RPM acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +27.8°C (crit = +99.0°C) temp2: +29.8°C (crit = +99.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +65.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 0: +64.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 1: +65.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 2: +65.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 3: +65.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) stress-ng stopped for many minutes but performance still stuck on low: mike@ossy /u/s/pstate-frequency> date; ./pstate-frequency -G; sensors Wed Feb 8 20:53:26 EST 2017 pstate-frequency version 3.7.2 pstate::CPU_DRIVER -> intel_pstate pstate::CPU_GOVERNOR -> performance pstate::TURBO -> 1 [OFF] pstate::CPU_MIN -> 43% [1600000KHz] pstate::CPU_MAX -> 50% [1850000KHz] asus-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter cpu_fan: 0 RPM acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +27.8°C (crit = +99.0°C) temp2: +29.8°C (crit = +99.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +59.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 0: +58.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 1: +59.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 2: +59.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) Core 3: +58.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) at this point I stopped thermald to upload logs. I could swear I had an issue where the max freq was stuck in read-only mode and I couldn't get it back to 100% except to reboot, but I can't seem to reproduce that issue right now. ** Attachment added: "thermald debug logs which ends up with thermald stuck in a low freq mode when CPU is cool" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1600599/+attachment/4815661/+files/thermald-debug-reduced.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1600599 Title: Thermald is totally broken, or its default configuration is To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1600599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
