  1. This configuration uses a Thermal daemon (`thermald`) to control CPU temperatures. I have found out that without thermal control Clevo N950TP6 CPU temperatures may rise quite high, peaking up to 94 celcius. Additionally, CPU fan spins up quite rapidly, creating a lot of noise and potential instability.
  2. 

  3. Therefore, I configured thermald exclusively for Clevo N950TP6 laptop so that the maximum allowed temperature for CPU is 72 celcius. The limit is not precise as the thermal daemon (`thermald`) can't control temperatures in very detailed level. That's why I would say there is a 5-7 celcius threshold upwards, so the maximum temperature with `thermald` setting 72C is approximately 78-80C. I have still noticed that the temperature can peak up to over 90C for short times in some rare cases.
  4. 

  5. The maximum temperature is set in systemd [thermald-temp.service file](thermald-temp.service). The default temperature limit value `uint32:75000`. Adapt it to your needs.

  9. You can get the latest `thermald` PKGBUILD file [on Arch Linux AUR repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thermald/). I have provided a backup file here.
