Lenovo S145-15IWL / Intel Core i7-8565U #343

Specifications

Throttled worked on Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15IWL. The notebook has an Intel Core i7-8565U processor. I use Arch Linux with GNOME and the system is currently running kernel 6.6.8-arch1-1. I installed throttled from the distro repository.

inxi:

CPU:
  Info: model: Intel Core i7-8565U bits: 64 type: MT MCP
    arch: Comet/Whiskey Lake note: check gen: core 8 level: v3 note: check
    built: 2018 process: Intel 14nm family: 6 model-id: 0x8E (142)
    stepping: 0xC (12) microcode: 0xF8

Settings

For throttled to recognize as expected whether the notebook was operating on battery or directly on power, it was necessary to change a specification in the throttled.conf file. The path on Arch Linux is different.

sudo sed -i 's|Sysfs_Power_Path.*|Sysfs_Power_Path: /sys/class/power_supply/AD*/online|g' /etc/throttled.conf

Conclusion

The system reached higher temperatures and for a longer time (23 seconds, previously 11 seconds) before throttling. The temperature did not exceed 95ºC. When throttling occurred, the CPU returned to higher frequencies more quickly. In normal operation (without stress, using Firefox, Thunderbird, Obsidian, Rio Terminal, etc.) the temperature was between 45ºC - 57ºC. Temperatures greater than 57ºC appear very quickly in normal use.
