Any one has kworker high cpu usage ?
Any idea how to solve it ?


 
Code:
PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 1797 root      20   0       0      0      0 S  44.9  0.0   0:53.41 kworker/3:16
 6504 root      20   0       0      0      0 R  21.0  0.0   0:40.13 kworker/3:2
 6751 m1        20   0  0.170t 1.165g 0.982g S   5.6 15.0   1:27.05 ethminer


My rig with 13 1060 had a very high cpu load. Moved power limit from 75W to 95W and load went down form 6-10 to 1.8-2.5. No perfect but much better.

Good call, Thanks a lot.
Will give it a shot.

Edit
Thanks a lot mate, you saved my day.
So I raised 5 steps at a time, at 85 load average get to 1.5-1.8, went up to 90, 95, 100 and load went up too.
So 85 is the sweet spot for me.

Code:
Load Average: 1.60 1.83 1.83

Happy...
so what was your PL and load average before modification?
Load average was over 4 with power limit of 75 on core i5 6400 cpu

Very rare... my rig has a g3900. I think a i5 should not get that load.
