This high trip point we don't expose in thermal subsystem (the thermal
 zone dump didn't show this anywhere as a trip). This is exposed by
core-dts driver only. This is the point BIOS is supposed to act, I
guess that's why you are seeing 50% clock modulation. 


Are you running thermald 

What is?
# ps -e | grep thermald

Yes, this is good idea.
