I'm running the same machine, driving an older 1920:1080 monitor. I've had thermal issues, but those didn't result in throttling. Instead, the system would shut itself down (usually while playing a lot of video). I fixed it by opening up the machine, cleaning it, and re-applying the thermal paste. I would recommend sensors from the lm-sensors package to get information like this: acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +46.0°C (crit = +127.0°C) temp2: +47.0°C (crit = +99.0°C) thinkpad-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter fan1: 2388 RPM temp1: +46.0°C temp2: +47.0°C temp3: N/A temp4: +46.0°C temp5: +28.0°C temp6: N/A temp7: +36.0°C temp8: N/A temp9: +51.0°C temp10: +44.0°C temp11: N/A temp12: N/A temp13: N/A temp14: N/A temp15: N/A temp16: N/A coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +42.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +40.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) ...and perhaps also looking at how CPU scaling is set with cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
