Thermald fails to run on boot

Hi!
I'm facing this issue since I installed thermald on my new laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM).

sudo systemctl status thermald.service 
● thermald.service - Thermal Daemon Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/thermald.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since mer 2014-08-20 10:28:41 CEST; 1h 34min ago

The strange thing is that restarting it, will work:

┌─[federico]──[family-pc]:~$
└──>>sudo systemctl restart thermald.service
[sudo] password for federico:
┌─[federico]──[family-pc]:~$

So the problem only appears during bootup.

Any idea? It shouldn't be a thermald problem because my brother has it installed on his i5 and linux 3.16.1, and it works flawlessly.
I use no configs.

Thanks!

EDIT: i'm using intel_pstate!
