# Fix T480 / T480s / X1C6 Throttling on Linux
Workaround for Linux throttling issues on Lenovo T480 / T480s / X1C6 notebooks as described [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/870u0a/t480s_linux_throttling_bug/).
This script forces the CPU package power limit (PL1/2) to **44 W** (29 W on battery) and the temperature trip point to **97 'C** (85 'C on battery) by overriding default values in MSR and MCHBAR every 5 seconds (30 on battery) to block the Embedded Controller from resetting these values to default.

## Disclaimer
This script overrides the default values set by Lenovo. I'm using it without any problem, but it is still experimental so use it at your own risk.
