Hello everyone.

I've been running CachyOS on my SP9 for a while now but one thing that has been consistent between every distro I've tried is that I just cannot get gaming to work on this device. I have the i5 model and I just can't seem to get thermals under control.

I've setup thermald to the best of my understanding and have played around with the thermal thresholds but I'm either not doing it right or it's just possible to get it working properly. I've also installed auto-cpufreq but of course that's not going to help thermals under load.

I definitely didn't have this issue under windows but I am NOT going back. What is everyone else's experience and what have y'all done?

Thanks!
