I have a new lenovo x1 carbon 9th generation.
Tthe inxi -Fx is at the bottom of this post.
The problem is with thermal throttling. When I run s-tui stress
test the system works fine for about a minute, with temps just
below 100C.
Suddenly, the cpu frequency drops to 400 (all cores) then slowly
returns to 2400 and temp stabilizes at about 60C.
Obviously, I want the system to run as fast as possible at up to 100C.
The i7-1165G7 has been locked by intel apparently to it is impossible
to change voltages etc.
But one would hope that the cpu could run at a safe (100C) maximum.
As it stands, my new x1 is slower than my old x1 6th generation that
happily runs at 3300 Mhz forever (thanks to lenovo_fix).
Is there any hope for the x1 9th generation, or is it just a dog?
