The cpupower utility can be used to set minimum and maximum cpu frequencies and frequency scaling governor. I use it on my intel and amd laptops. With some governor you can't set frequencies, try to change them. I hope this helps. Best regards, Andrey сб, 2 мар. 2024 г., 03:16 Andrew Randrianasulu via Cin < [email protected]>:
My laptop was making noises under load, and sadly trayfreq was unable to set cpu frequency for some reason. I poked around /sys and found intel_pstate driver can be configured this way:
echo 25 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
this sets max frequency to 800 mhz instead of 2.5/3.0 ghz as usual.
note that 25 is percentage, and on different core iXXX processors results can be different.

I hope this might help Phyllis with her overheating intel laptop ..... -- Cin mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
