I have found thermald unreliable on my Thinkpad X1 Yoga G4 (same mainboard as the X1
Carbon 7) with an i7-8665U. The laptop is unable to cTDP up to 25W and throttles at 80
degrees rather than 95 degrees as it does in Windows, even after extracting the ACPI
tables with dptfxtract as per the instructions.
However throttled (
https://github.com/erpalma/throttled) which I understand simply resets
the power limits every 5s or so) does allow me to reach a stable system under load with
throttling at 95 degrees, which allows the use of higher all-core turbos for compiling
etc, as well as better battery life with undervolting at idle.
I'm not suggesting throttled is a good solution, just making the point that thermald
still seems to need some work before being considered the default thermal solution.
Regards,
Ryan
