Hi,
Generally if CPU temperature becomes too high in order to avoid CPU damage BIOS forces hard poweroff, which can easily cause a data loss.
It would be much safer if auto-cpufreq monitored CPU temperature and would either automatically suspend/hibernate PC or offer a user to do so (or rather give a user N seconds opportunity to cancel suspend/hibernate).
Suspend/hibernate would allow CPU to cool down.
An intermediate step could be also automatically switching to
powersave
mode when temperature gets close to the threshold temperature. E.g. a number of phones do this automatically when hot.Suspend/hibernate might still be unavoidable though.
Clearly suspend/hibernate are way better than hard poweroff when its imminent.
A user need to be able to set a temperature threshold of cause.
Simply raising temperature threshold isn't a solution as HW can overheat and got damaged.
Thanks.
