I understand throttled to have been a workaround solution at # the time the p53 profile was created (throttled's original name was # "lenovo_fix"). thermald would have been preferred if it worked at the # time. # # I read # https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_(Gen_6)#Power_management.2FThrottling_issues # as saying that thermald is fixed under the circumstance that led to the # development of throttled given version 5.12+ of the kernel combined # with version 2.4.3+ of thermald. At the time of this writing, the # stable NixOS kernel is 5.15 and 2.4.9 of thermald. # # In the meantime, I also ran the "s-tui" program which can stress test the # system, while eyeing up the core temps and CPU frequency under three # scenarios: under thermald, under throttled, and with neither. None of the # scenarios seem to have massively improved fan behavior, core temps, or # average CPU frequency than another. The highest core temp always seems to # hover around 90 degrees C, the lowest CPU Ghz around 3.4 on a 3.8Ghz machine. # # I ended up choosing throttled because subjectively, the fans seem quieter # when it's stressed and it allows the average temps to get a degree or two # higher when running throttled than when running in the other two scenarios, # but still substantially under critical temp. services.throttled.enable = lib.mkDefault true; }
