Public bug reported:

This is a variant of bug #1543046; so reporting it separately

Looks like thermald does not check for valid cpu model to avoid that
spamming: mine is an old intel q9550, and journalctl has logged:

***********
thermald[791]: NO RAPL sysfs present
 10 CPUID levels; family:model:stepping 0x6:17:7 (6:23:7)
 Need Linux PowerCap sysfs
 failed to open /dev/acpi_thermal_rel
 failed to open /dev/acpi_thermal_rel
 TRT/ART read failed
...
...
Unsupported cpu model, use thermal-conf.xml file or run with 
--ignore-cpuid-check
THD engine start failed
*************
So thermal-conf.xml might be completed to blacklist some incompatible hardware 
i suppose.

As the spamming lines were hundreds, i've stopped it with:
 sudo systemctl disable thermald

but this is not enough as shown by the lines above.
