This notebook is driving me nuts.
Yesterday I had a #thermald config which gave me a score of 2400 with balanced.
Started the notebook today, can't get any scores over 1500 no matter which profile and I triggered the LEDs again.
Which I recorded this time and now know what they say.
Not that it is any help.
They were one Amber and 8 times White.
Which according to the manual means:
> Disconnect all power source (AC, battery, coin cell) and drain flea power by pressing and holding down the power button for 3~5 seconds.

#Unigine is quite helpful because I immediatly see on the lag when the CPU throttles.

Maybe I have figured it out now. When I reload #thermald after I changed the power profile through #KDE the fans behave as I would expect them to. If I don't restart thermald the CPU gets very aggressively throttled.
