Recommended to put in config file for i5-1135g7? I use Slimbook intell controller and added a line for my CPU in the /home/(username)/.config/slimboookintelcontroller/nf file. My understanding is that this makes the CPU use less power and therefore generate less heat. See Dealing with High CPU Temperatures - #4 by Jean-Marc_Le_Roux

changing BIOS setting to custom defaults:.

If you are ok with a performance tradeoff, the software route is the one to go. Here’s some possible solutions I’ve found after spending wayy too much browsing the framework forum (though I am not sure how to implement some of them): In performance mode, they tend to boost the clock frequency as high as they can until they hit thermal or power limits. It seems like the Intel chips are designed to be ok when hot, and the intel spec sheets say 100C is the max, but I do prefer something cooler if possible: CPU running at hot temps? - #3 by Johannes_Tīasically all modern CPUs are designed to run hot, because they do opportunistic boosting. I know that it is possible to have a thermally efficient laptop because the new Macbooks are so thermally efficient that they don’t even need a fan.

I personally don’t like the sound of the fan running and it also seems like higher temperatures are bad for the CPU. I’m running Kubuntu with i5 / 2*16 GB memory. what can framework do to make the computer more thermally efficient / optimal for a variety of use cases.how can the user make the computer more thermally efficient / optimal for their use case.
