Temperature and throttling

A laptop temperature reading needs a sensor name, workload, power mode and device context. Compare like with like; a brief peak and a sustained reading are different observations. Look up the exact model limit rather than treating one temperature as a universal failure threshold.

What to record first

1. Record idle and load readings from the same sensor.
2. Compare temperature, clock behaviour and performance under a repeatable workload.
3. Use observed clock changes as evidence, not proof that heat alone caused them.

Keep your readings together in the thermal risk profiler, or compare a different symptom in the complete guide directory.
