Example Thermald Configuration
This is a minimal thermald configuration, which sets the maximum sustained CPU temperature to about 65°C.
Modify the <Temperature>65000</Temperature>
value to adapt that to your liking.
Tested on a Surface Book 2, other devices may need adapting, see e.g. the thermald man page.
More complex and device specific examples can be found in subdirectories If any subdirectory does not have both files or any dedicated instructions, use the missing files provided here and/or follow these instructions.
Installation
Both XML files (thermal-conf.xml
and thermal-cpu-cdev-order-xml
) need to be placed in the /etc/thermald/
directory.
Newer thermald versions attempt to automatically load the configuration from ACPI.
If you want to use a manual configuration with such a version, you may need to remove the --adaptive
option from the systemd service ExecStart
line.
You can do so by running sudo systemctl edit thermald.service
.
