Hi! I'm still facing this issue with 0.21-1, but not 100% sure (might be
an issue in intel_pstate as well).

In short: on 0.21-1, facing an issue, no_turbo is 0, turbo_pct - file
does not exist; writing 0 to no_turbo (even though it was 0 already)
fixes the issue.

More details:
* Ubuntu 23.10
* power-profiles-daemon/mantic,now 0.21-1~mantic1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
* Intel i7-14700HX (base 2.1Hhz, Turbo Boost up to 5.5Ghz + efficiency cores 
with a bit lower freqs)
* NO cpufreqd and auto-cpufreq
* thermald installed and running

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/hwp_dynamic_boost:0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct:100
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct:16
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo:0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/status:active

Note: turbo_pct - file does not exist

Further observations:

* Right after booting, even though temp is ~45-50C, I see the "high hardware 
temperature" in system settings.
* cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo returns 0
* Running prime95 saturates all cores at their max non-boost frequencies 
(2.1Ghz for P-cores and 1.5Ghz for E-cores), temp remains at ~65-70C

Here's the most interesting/puzzling part: even though no_turbo was
already 0, explicitly writing 0 to it (echo 0 | sudo tee
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo) fixes the problem:

* "high temp" warning in settings immediately goes away
* prime95 on single core: cpu clocks go up to 5.1Ghz, ~90C temp on that core + 
~50C on others
* prime95 on all cores: clocks up to ~3.5Ghz, then gradually go down to 
2.5-2.8Ghz (80-85C all cores)

Obvious workaround is to just write 0 to no_turbo after boot... but this
feels quite strange :)
