+# Using thermald to avoid thermal throttling
|
|
|
+Install `thermald` for your distro, on many distros it might be installed by default.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create the config file `/etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml` and add the following content to the file:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```xml
|
|
|
+<?xml version="1.0"?>
|
|
|
+<ThermalConfiguration>
|
|
|
+<Platform>
|
|
|
+ <Name>Surface Pro 7 Thermal Workaround</Name>
|
|
|
+ <ProductName>*</ProductName>
|
|
|
+ <Preference>QUIET</Preference>
|
|
|
+ <ThermalZones>
|
|
|
+ <ThermalZone>
|
|
|
+ <Type>cpu</Type>
|
|
|
+ <TripPoints>
|
|
|
+ <TripPoint>
|
|
|
+ <SensorType>x86_pkg_temp</SensorType>
|
|
|
+ <Temperature>65000</Temperature>
|
|
|
+ <type>passive</type>
|
|
|
+ <ControlType>SEQUENTIAL</ControlType>
|
|
|
+ <CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+ <index>1</index>
|
|
|
+ <type>rapl_controller</type>
|
|
|
+ <influence>100</influence>
|
|
|
+ <SamplingPeriod>10</SamplingPeriod>
|
|
|
+ </CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+ </TripPoint>
|
|
|
+ </TripPoints>
|
|
|
+ </ThermalZone>
|
|
|
+ </ThermalZones>
|
|
|
+</Platform>
|
|
|
+</ThermalConfiguration>
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+Depending on your ambient temperature you might want to lower the `<Temperature>` line to make thermald kick in more aggressively. (65000 = 65°C)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create the file `/etc/thermald/thermal-cpu-cdev-order.xml` with the following content:
|
|
|
+```xml
|
|
|
+<CoolingDeviceOrder>
|
|
|
+ <CoolingDevice>rapl_controller</CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+ <CoolingDevice>intel_pstate</CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+ <CoolingDevice>intel_powerclamp</CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+ <CoolingDevice>cpufreq</CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+ <CoolingDevice>Processor</CoolingDevice>
|
|
|
+</CoolingDeviceOrder>
|
|
|
+```

|
+# Making Fedora respect your config files
|
|
|
+Fedora uses the `--adaptive` option by default, thus ignoring your config files. This might also apply to some other distros.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Edit `/usr/lib/systemd/system/thermald.service` and remove `--adaptive` from the `ExecStart=` line. Then do a `systemctl daemon-reload` so systemd realizes the change. thermald should then respect your configuration files.
