thermal_daemon VS throttled

You can make thermald ignore that protection by using the `--ignore-cpu-id` flag. See thread leading up to: https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon/issues/268#issuecomm...

I don't use Windows but in Linux, using thermald you can also set your own temperature and power limits which would also effectively limit fan speeds. You can also control EPP/EPB manually...

If you're in the EU and looking for a thin and light with good battery life and need/want unsoldered/up-to 64GB of RAM, I believe that the Slimbook Executive 14/Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen7 might be the best options atm - 99Wh battery, 1.3kg for a 14" 16:10 version. Slimbook has a 16" version as well, although the battery is a bit smaller. These are Alder Lake H but using thermald and tlp I believe you can bring power usage in line w/ P or U chips.

thermald added support for both Alder Lake and Raptor Lake in version 2.5 two months ago, so you can build it for Linux Mint from the build instructions for Ubuntu here: https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon

thermald settings can also affect battery life/performance a lot.

Similarly, on Intel laptops you can use https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon to do the same (lower the TripPoint Max Temperature in thermal-conf.xml

For Intel, there's https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon and actually a whole range of tools/strategies for using RAPL to control power usage that can be manipulated directly, like this: https://community.frame.work/t/thermal-management-on-linux-with-rapl-limits/17416

Yes i know it sounds wild but I need to be able to focus on my programming tasks. I run linux on my system and with throttled installed, it gets noisy and i'm tired of it. I'm not a gamer but I use win10 and win11 VMs and compile source code and just every day tasks spin up this fan. Before I installed throttled ( https://github.com/erpalma/throttled ) it was out of control. I haven HP 840 G5 that hardly even spins up. I got this because i had the same one for work and noticed it never bothered me. I have compared some compile times on the i5 and the i7 and even my desktop, they are all about the same so I dont see why I should care about having an i7. Im willing to buy a new mobo with the i5 8250 and just use that. i bought the dual heatsink fan and waiting for that to arrive so i'll install that first. But can anyone else share their experience with an i5 vs i7 and fan noise?

I have a T480 with an i7-8650U and I am a little confused undervolting using throttled

It's the reverse. For some reason, the embedded controller (EC) on the T480 (and other later Intel Thinkpads) is aggressive with regards to throttling the CPU clock speed even when the temperature isn't that high. To solve this, someone made a program called throttled https://github.com/erpalma/throttled to fix the issue.

Planning to install Arch (EndeavourOS) on it. In the arch wiki and these forums, thermal throttling is mentioned per this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/870u0a/t480s_linux_throttling_bug/. However this is 5yr old. Is throttling still an issue? And do you need to install throttled (https://github.com/erpalma/throttled) ?

Thermal throttling can be tweaked through throttled.

The machine throttles, under (only) Linux, when too law a CPU temperature is reached. Lenovo promised for months to fix this and then announced that it would not, after all, fix it. But the community came to the rescue.

The only thing with the X1C series though is that the thermals straight-up sucks; the laptop out of the box gets really hot really quick and throttles immediately. The first thing I did when I got it was undervolting the CPU with throttled, which helped a lot and increased my battery life significantly too. The fan basically only comes on under pretty heavy load now; before it sounded like it was about to achieve liftoff at about 20% cpu load.
