Maybe it is my fan. Or maybe the paste on the CPU is dry and not
transferring heat well to the fan.
To buy a replacement fan, I am advised to open the unit and look at
the fan as it seems there are at least 2 designs for the fan part for
the x260.
But it seems from Google, that Win users can set the max CPU usage to
like 75% to run cooler.
I can't find any such setting in Xfce. Any pointers on where to look
for such a control?
I have been digging more. I have installed:
dnf install power-profiles-daemon
and
powerprofilesctl set power-saver
But that does not seem to make a change. And:
# cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
energy performance preference: power
hardware limits: 400 MHz - 3.00 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 3.00 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 900 MHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
Should I try:
cpupower frequency-set-g powersave
(is this different than powerprofilesctl?)
or something like:
cpupower frequency-set-u 2.5GHz
And what is my current frequency-set, and how do I change it back?
And I have found a reference to cpupower-gui, but I can't install that
and "dnf provides" does not tell what to install to get it.
