BearTM, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one at the top) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379873 Title: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The reported frequencies of an overclocked Core 2 Duo are incorrect. Benchmarking and performance testing can confirm that the CPU is running at the overclocked speeds, but the values reported through cpuinfo are the standard stock speeds. CPU has been overclocked from stock 3.00GHz to 3.60GHz. This can be confirmed through dmidecode (output attached). The issue is that cpuinfo (and related utilities) all report the stock CPU speeds instead. This is only a visual/reporting issue. The CPU is still throttling correctly, and the speed is correct as per the overclocking ratio. i.e. (tested and confirmed in benchmarks & Bogomips) Reported 2.00Ghz = (3.6/3.0 * 2.0) = 2.40GHz True Clock Speed Reported 3.00Ghz = (3.6/3.0 * 3.0) = 3.60GHz True Clock Speed There are a few reports of this in the Ubuntu forums, however no resolution had been found. I have updated the BIOS on my motherboard (ASUS P5Q) to the latest available, with no changes. All other BIOS options are per standard - allowing CPU throttling/etc. Bug #132403 makes reference to this similar issue, but this is not a BIOS problem, only a reporting problem. Compare: cat /proc/cpuinfo cpufreq-info dmidecode --type processor Only dmidecode is reporting the correct CPU speed as set in the BIOS.
