Help with cpufreq please

[Aleph]

Sorry FF, I did one more time and doesn't work:

in root terminal :   modprobe p4-clockmod

cpufreq-set -c 0 -g conservative -d 667mhz -u 2670mhz

cpufreq-set -c 1 -g conservative -d 667mhz -u 2670mhz

cpufreq-set -c 2 -g conservative -d 667mhz -u 2670mhz

cpufreq-set -c 3 -g conservative -d 667mhz -u 2670mhz

Well then we have  options.

Switch back to Enhanced Speedstep, use conservative,
and you will idle at 2ghz and step up to 2.67 ghz with cpu usage.
You should see conservative and current speed 2 Ghz.

Switch back to Enhanced Speedstep, use a performance
governor command to permanently lower the overall speed
until changed,  which appears to be 2 ghz at the lowest.

That would be done by modifying the present commands in rc.local
somewhat.

Or, leave as is originally set and run at full speed deleting the entries in rc.local
by placing a # in front of each line.

The p4-clockmod appears to only invoke the performance governor,
no harm done.   Not completely compatible with that hardware.

The first option appears the best if you want some speed relief.    

Thanks for you patience but it appears hardware is hardware.
Any further questions post back then.

FF

Hi FF,

I switched back to Enhanced Speedstep, 2000 to 2660 Mhz

Thank you very much for your help and patience too.

Best regards.
