# 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>
|

|

|
|

|
||
|
|
<type>rapl_controller</type>
|

<influence>100</influence>
|

|
||
|
|
</CoolingDevice>
|

|

|

|
</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.
