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.
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.
The maximum temperature is set in systemd thermald-temp.service file. The default temperature limit value uint32:75000
. Adapt it to your needs.
You can get the latest thermald
PKGBUILD file on Arch Linux AUR repository. I have provided a backup file here.
