# 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

|

|

|
|
|
-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>
|
|
|

|

|
+2. Place thermal-conf.xml into the `/etc/thermald/` directory
|

+3. Depending on your ambient temperature you might want to lower the `<Temperature>` line to make thermald kick in more aggressively. (65000 = 65°C)

# 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.
