Subject: [PATCH] New example_config for SL1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The surface Laptop 1 immediately throttles to 400MHz if the GEN1 sensors reaches 52°C. Every time my Surface Laptop was under heavy load for more than a few minutes my performance hit a brick wall.
This config fixes this, it caps the CPU temp at 90°C and more importantly keeps GEN1 cooler than 50°C.
I have stress tested this config extensively and have had no thermal throttling and stable temps.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,
jo
