throttled VS ThinkpadE14FnKeysFix

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.

FnKeys not working : Link Workaround (?)

Guys, I haven't the slightest clue from scripts. Just a slight warning 👨‍💻 But I am in need of great help! I have a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen2, with Ryzen 7 processor. I installed -what else- Cinnamon and until now it works flawlessly. But these Laptop has a major issue, making it almost incompatible to run LInux: the fn keys are not working and you have to manually suspend the system, in order to make them functional. There's a shell script which solves all this. The script is on Github https://github.com/MichalLebeda/ThinkpadE14FnKeysFix and I would be grateful if some friend, with a lot of patience could guide so I can install it into my system! I love my machine and I am trying my best to make the best of it 💖
