So you tested Leap 42.3 kernel on top of Leap 15.0 system, or tested the whole Leap 42.3 system? If the latter, please try the former; just install Leap 42.3 kernel on top of Leap 15.0 (with --force --oldpackage or whatever option), and check whether the problem doesn't happen with it. If the problem doesn't happen with Leap 42.3 kernel, then please try TW kernel. I checked the nouveau_hwmon code but there is no significant change, at least. So it must be really a high temperature due to some incorrect mode (no proper power saving, etc).
