If you have amdgpu_top installed, next time this happens, can you open “amdgpu_top” and have a look at the “Thottle Status: […]” and show what is between those squared brackets, also set your power profile ( or equivalent ) to “performance” and see what the maximum processor frequency is

I’m assessing some stuff and there something I’m suspicious of ( somewhat… ) what’s going on and it’s been more noticeable since I’ve replaced the liquid thermal with PTM7958

I have a Framework 16 but we’re both using AMD Phoenix ( I’ve have 7840HS, no dGPU )

I’m using Gentoo 2.17, Kernel 6.15-rc2, BIOS 3.05, KDE Plasma 6.2.5 ( Wayland )

Thanks
