I have found thermald unreliable on my Thinkpad X1 Yoga G4 (same mainboard as 
the X1 Carbon 7) with an i7-8665U. The laptop is unable to cTDP up to 25W and 
throttles at 80 degrees rather than 95 degrees as it does in Windows, even 
after extracting the ACPI tables with dptfxtract as per the instructions.

However throttled (https://github.com/erpalma/throttled) which I understand 
simply resets the power limits every 5s or so) does allow me to reach a stable 
system under load with throttling at 95 degrees, which allows the use of higher 
all-core turbos for compiling etc, as well as better battery life with 
undervolting at idle.

I'm not suggesting throttled is a good solution, just making the point that 
thermald still seems to need some work before being considered the default 
thermal solution.

Regards,

Ryan
