Issue #642 has been updated by Walter Sonius.

It was common for a while to report ongoing coreboot bugs in the release notes 
~25.03, therefor a existing [bug#439](https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/439) 
may have missed our attention but still confirms your current observation of 
missing turbo.

About the high(er) temperatures, did you manually disable ME after running 
coreboot in IFD or cmos/cfr option or using a (over)cleaned ME, your current 
config file doesn't resemble this but you may have flashed it with `--ifd -i 
bios` while already having a cleaned ME?

Running coreboot especially with (over)cleaned ME on my x201 disabled all auto 
FAN behavior in worst case it is 100% silent until CPU reaches \~100 degrees 
and only than it will start spinning at high RPM until it reaches a certain 
threshold and just stops again. Replacing the cool paste, I was able to keep it 
idle at 35 degrees without any FAN spin up on coreboot. To keep normal FAN 
behavior don't touch the ME. Using the m520 CPU a while ago I noticed that it 
can go to 60\~70 degrees while using on intense website but would go back to 45 
degrees with simpler websites. 

Did you do any manual FAN tuning on OEM BIOS on the linux distribution you were 
running with tools like `thinkfan`, these older settings may need to be 
changed. Did you record RPM FAN speed differences besides the temperature 
differences?

Hello, i installed Coreboot on my x201t but turbo boost isn’t working and cpu 
won’t go past 2.1 GHz. My processor is an i7 640LM. Something i also noticed is 
that the system runs hotter with coreboot than with stock bios but i don’t know 
what’s causing that.
