Good point, but no, because the system is under heavy load all the time,
not idling.
After throttling down to 400 mhz, system also stays at this speed. Only
system reboot mitigates the issue.

#CPU driver:
root@node3:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
acpi-cpufreq
#Governor:
root@node3:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
schedutil
I did not set/change governor/driver settings, this is a stock debian
kernel.

yes, good point, but CPU/temp/fans are all ok. BMC, ipmi and management
interface all show no issues whatsovers.
