Hi there,

I am a new member here but not new to Linux. I am London-based and have been using various versions of Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Arch) since 2013.

I am not a programmer, coder or hacker so I struggle to get guidance on the Arch Linux forum.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad P52 laptop and I am concerned about high temperatures, possible throttling and excessive fan noise.

I am hoping to get some help assessing the situation in terms of reading/analysing the various programs I’ve installed (Thinkfan UI, Gnome System Monitor, autocpu-free, tuned-gui, tlp-ui) to try to figure out if there is a problem or if improvements can be made.

I have tended to use google to find solutions but hit a dead end now.

If anyone could give instructions for how to provide my system’s information, I will follow that closely and hope not to waste people’s time/energy.

Thanks for reading.
