I have a thinkpad x1 extreme gen2.

I have a bit trouble to exactly understand what I could do with the information from that URL - will try to read it again later with some more time.

What I can confirm ist that thermald reports some kind of incompatibility as far as I understand:

$ sudo journalctl -b -u thermald.service
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e systemd[1]: Starting Thermal Daemon Service...
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e thermald[1968]: 22 CPUID levels; family:model:stepping 0x6:9e:d (6:158:13)

Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e systemd[1]: thermald.service: Deactivated successfully.
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e systemd[1]: Started Thermal Daemon Service.

If it should turn out that settings and indicator are unable to change/display the currently used cpu governor, shouldn't they then also avoid to give useres the impression they can?
Or could they be changed to do it the same way as studio-controls do it, as this proves it's basically possible?

Anyway, please let me know if there is anything else I should try to analyse or fix this thing. I will come back and report if I myself find anything, too.
