Ran Core on this box for about 2 years. Nic temp was typically around 34C. After switching to Scale, temp jumped to 70C. It’s been sitting there at that temp for about 2 months now.
It’s not doing a lot of network traffic or anything. Maybe 300 megs on average.
Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]
mlx5-pci-3b00
Adapter: PCI adapter
sensor0: +68.0°C (crit = +105.0°C, highest = +99.0°C)
Module0: +43.0°C (crit = +70.0°C, highest = +46.0°C)
Everything else in the box (NVME drives, CPUs etc) seem to be sitting between 30 and 40C.
The server hasn’t changed places in the rack, there shouldn’t be anything blocking the airflow, literally nothing has changed other than the OS.
Do I need to firmware update on the nic? Should I not worry about this?
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I’m not sure what to think.
