Yes, that is the last level of protection before shutdown. clock modulation is turned on at 50%. The intel pstate cpu frequency driver is fundamentally incompatible with clock modulation and so your CPU frequencies will be become locked at a very low frequency. You should be able to observe this with turbostat also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1600599 Title: Thermald is totally broken, or its default configuration is To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1600599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
