Good day,

i currently have the latest version of bios installed on this machine that was available to download and have noticed that its showing both my cpus as 30C and this will never change

the real cpu temp i can see in windows but the bmc stays on 30C

is there anyway i can fix this?

Hi AfTaStEr,

                    Did the issue start after the BIOS update? There is a latest BIOS available (Released in 2018) for the server.

Request you to update it to this version and check on the issue. Since you have not mentioned the OS, I am unable to provide you the exact one for the server. For your reference, I am attaching the one for windows.

BIOS: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=3884088&swItemId=MTX_5ff6f4d7c8e4406095d4761456&swEnvOid=4184

Hi rajatmitra,

You have provided a link to - ** CRITICAL ** Online ROM Flash Component for Windows x64 - HP ProLiant DL380 G6 (P62) Servers - rather than the HP ProLiant DL160 G6 referred to in the posts title?

Therefore, is there a forthcoming BIOS update planned for the ProLiant DL160 G6 series (e.g. E5504 - Nehalem)?

The ProLiant DL380 G6 (E5504 - Nehalem) has the latest Intel Spectre/Meltdown code in 2018.02.22 released in March 2018 in your post reply.

According to the latest Product Security Vulnerability Alert - https://h22208.www2.hpe.com/eginfolib/securityalerts/SCAM/Side_Channel_Analysis_Method.html Side Channel Analysis Method allows information disclosure in Microprocessors (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754)  it is not listed.

In terms of temperature, the readings from my DL160 G6 (2x E5504) are;

• CPU1 sensor 30 deg. C
• CPU2 sensor 41.5 deg. C

So this appears normal for CPU1 with the latest available BIOS 4.26 (IPMI v2.0).

Thanks,

Fiek
