IPFire 2.27 - Core Update 173 High CPU Frequency

Hardware
1

Hi,

This is my set-up: fireinfo.ipfire.org - Profile 3a78788b9748a3b18ec3122b4ca2d9bbcff5617a

After the core update 173, the CPU frequency stays up, even though my load is minimal.

075--Thu-16-Mar-2023--13-06-18

What could be the fix for that?

Cpu frequency graph going higher is mentioned in there.

Ah, so things might improve with kernel 6.1.11 / 174

Thank you Belka!

Hello,

Just saw another post about the high CPU frequency, so thought I’d share kind of an update.

I did something a while back, it’s most probably the wrong way but it worked for me. Maybe the experts can advise on it.

My bash history has two relevant things:

  1. I edited this file: /etc/init.d/cpufreq

I don’t remember exactly, but I think like the comments say, the governor was ondemand, and I changed it to powersave

  1. /etc/init.d/cpufreq start

And my CPU started running on minimum frequency.
