Thermal throttling is when the system (usually the cpu) becomes so hot from the lack of cooling provided to it, that it limits its performance to save itself from certain death. AMD chips usually throttle at 80C, Intel chips 100C, but it could be a few different components. You need to run software that can properly read and report the temporatire of various parts in your system to see if you might be hitting the throttling threshold.
I know software to do this for windows, but not any for *nix.

It’s fanless! How can I check for thermal throttling? Is that a bios setting?
