But at the same time, sensors returns the following at the same moment when I get those logs
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +56.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +56.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +55.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +54.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +53.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1: +25.0°C (crit = +107.0°C)
pch_skylake-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +47.5°C
which is far away from critical temperatures. Can somebody clear this up fro me?
Edit:
