Hi everybody,
I am using an i7-2600K and since Kernel: 4.2.5-1-ARCH my CPU temperature goes up to 98°C. Before 4.2.5-1 lm_sensors max temperature was around 64°C.
First I examine my CPU fan, but it works like before.
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi Dennis,
are you sure that it's related to the kernel and not to something else that was updated?
Did you run
$ top
and
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
to ensure that everything is as expected?
If I would run upowerd on my machine, it would use 100% CPU resources, when an iPad is connected to an USB port.

Hi Ralf,
I am not really sure if this problem is directly related to the kernel, but after 2 years of constantly updating my Archlinux it is the first time that the CPU temperature get up to 98°C if I compile stuff or render some 3D scenes and I am sure that this does not happen with the previous kernel version.
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
say powersave
I will try to install the previous kernel.
Best regards, Dennis

I downgraded the Kernel Version to 4.2.4-1-ARCH and the temperature still goes up to 98°C. I try to investigate more to get an idea of why this is happening.

You could use the i7z utility to see what the cpu is up to. Also investigate what is burning cpu, surely some thread is acting up?

Remove cooler, clean and apply new paste, remount the cooler?
Maybe you could try the LTS kernel

Yep, applying new paste is my next try.
My Debian Jessie installation also goes up to 98°C and my Bios does the same. I also got an Over Temperature Error after checking the Bios settings. This looks like an hardware issue.
Sorry for blaming the kernel and thanks for taking care.

I found the problem while replacing the thermal grease.
The plastic holder of the cpu cooler was broken. Never thought that the fan was creating such a high amount of vibration.
I bought a new cooler and now the temperature is back to normal.
