Thermal Throttling on E14G2 Intel ?

[useroange]

Hi,

I am receiving a ThiinkPad E14G2 (Intel) Model:20TA002CFR

By any chance, do you know if it is affected by the thermal throttling? If so, do you know if thermald can fix it? Or I should go for erpalma's tweak?

Thermald should work fine. However, you can always try both of them and keep wich you like most

@rodmaureirac Hi, I've installed Fedora 34. I've tried with Thermald and Throttle; the results doesn't seem correct to me (at least comparing to Windows)
Did I miss something? I am getting this with thermald and throttle.

Hey lads ! i happen to work for Lenovo - to be exact only started give or take 3 month ago , by the day 3 it already didnt make any sense how many L14, E14, T490/495 come as RMA and all of the had dead mainboards , tuned out we are 15% over with mainboard replacements then it forecasted this year by Lenovo.
Some issue that you describe, most of them are not limited NIXes , systems on MS have exactly the same problems , none of them has working biometric, laptop slipping in to hibernation while some one is working , With t490s L14 E15 all of them have a problem at MIC/WebCam dept , Displays that just malfunction during a zoom call and of course Intel Me crowns this shit show with endless failures of thunderbird controllers , power managment issues and yada yada yada...

Some 2-3month back i have considered Lenovo to be fairly reliable , no more.

Generaly speaking anything with intel chipset ME/CSME spi'si wouldn't touch with a stick. I belive that fault ratios are nearly 70/30 between Intel and AMD.

I genuinely thought that most of these isues could have been resolved with firmware update , but on practice only 2-3 out of 10 systems are happy with this fix. Specifically iIntel, they are not having a good year several vulns in Me AMT CSME which honestly haven been patched since ThinkPawn , eventually device just ends up bricked.
If you go for RMA Lenovo most likely wont even check the device as soon as they hear what model it is.
