CPU temperature reading stuck

pshemk opened this issue · comments

I'm not sure if this is possible, but my CPU temperature reading (and only that single reading) is somehow stuck at 70°C:

I've tried rmmod and modprobe again but the reading doesn't change. I also checked the zenpower module and that one keeps reporting the temperature changes as expected.
This is on Asus X-470 Prime motherboard with AMD 3900x CPU.

Are you using a version of the driver after this commit (Sept 2019)? 8f5eaec

PS is that Grafana? Nice work!

I'm using the current git version. After a reload the machine started to report correctly again.

And yes, that graph is from grafana :-)

I think it's most likely that the problem is in the Asus firmware unfortunately :(.

Similar issues have been seen by other users, and also in Windows (see my comment here: #48 (comment))

The WMI issues also seem more frequent on 3xxx gen CPUs.

You've inspired me to set up prometheus/node_exporter/grafana, I will monitor my own system more closely to see if I experience this issue.
