# Linux leaves the Apple SMC fans at their minimum RPM — nothing in-tree
# ramps them. The CPU therefore sits at its thermal limit under any real
# load and throttles instead of spinning up. mbpfan drives applesmc.
services.mbpfan.enable = true;
# No mbpfan: measured 5813 of 6500 RPM at idle, so the SMC firmware is
# already ramping hard on its own. A more aggressive curve has nothing
# left to give — the cooling path itself is the limit.
# Haswell's own thermal management: throttle gradually via RAPL/P-states
# instead of waiting for the hardware's PROCHOT emergency brake.
