Dunno if this helps. My cpu is an Intel I7-2670QM.
The related files, you might need to check are: -------------------- /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq.conf As far as I remember I chaned nothing here in the past. -------------------- Second one is: /etc/modules in here I set the following entries: powernow-k8 cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_userspace -------------------- Third one, which might be related: /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf In here are alsoi the three entries as above: powernow-k8 cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_userspace -------------------- I think, the powernow-k8 entry is no more needed, and is a relic from old times. Additionally check /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf Although you might run a desktop computer, the package laptop-mode might be helpfull. -------------------- Hope this helps.
