Chrome OS CPU frequency limiting?

Go to solution Solved by Sauron,

Generally speaking the CPU should throttle before the temperature becomes dangerous; if you prefer it to run cooler you'd probably have to go though the underlying Linux system to get direct control of the hardware. You can try cpupower-frequency-set.

Good day guys, I've been wondering if there is any way to det an upper limit on the CPU clock speed on Chrome OS.

 

I have a Lenovo Miix 720 on which I've disabled the fan and on Windows I can just limit the maximum CPU state in the power menu improving battery life and thermals since I don't need that much performance.

 

I'd like to install Chrome OS but the last time I did it, the CPU would constantly boost generating heat that can't be handled by my modded passive cooling system.

 

Thank you
