I noticed that when I changed the the polling_frequency to 1,
the CPU speed changed from 1700 to 1200 when the temp reached 92C.

This for some reason fixes the problem. The CPU still runs very hot from from 80C at (1200Mhz) to 92C at (1700Mhz), is this how is supposed to work ?

But now at least looks like the OS is activating the CPU speed drop at 92C :)

Is there a way to change this to be at a lower temperature?
And what are the standard values for these temperatures?
