I too find it worse with thermald on my Macbook pro. With thermald, the frequency clipping is too severe, and fans stay below 50%. I think the fans should still try to increase while cpu frequency clipping is happening by default.
In my case, without thermald, the CPU temp goes about 5--10 deg higher at very high loads, but it still seems fine as the fans quickly kick in. and at worst, cpu frequency clips to prevent extreme temperature. ** Tags added: xenial -- 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
