Description Giuseppe Ghibò 2016-06-23 12:57:36 CEST 
Description of problem:

After the kernel is started under a laptop with Skylake 6700HQ processor and HM 170 Express Chipset, the fans start spinning and continuosly spins at maximum speed, never stopping until a power off. Temperatures are not high (below 40°C).

Under MGA5 with kernel 4.1.15-desktop the same problem doesn't occurs in the same hardware.

Thanks for the report.

Do you mind _attaching_ the output of (as root) "journalctl -ab" in case there's something in it that helps understand why this happens?

Comment 2 Giuseppe Ghibò 2016-06-28 01:28:22 CEST 
This seems quite a widespread problem for skylake. I found that providing intel_idle.max_cstate=1 in the booting cmdline would cause fan to to spin at maximum level (also for that flag there were discussion here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 and here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2319205).

Also in this configuration I'm not using proprietary nvidia drivers yet.
Comment 3 Giuseppe Ghibò 2016-08-09 18:45:28 CEST 
This is confirmed to be still there on kernel 4.7.0-desktop-2.mga6. Providing intel_idle.max_cstate=1 will let fans not continuosly spinning at maximum level since boot.

Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.

This no longer happens in kernel 4.8.7 (as well as previous 4.8.x). I close.
