Frequency control may not be relevant on that platform. Try installing the intel-pcm package; then # kldload cpuctl # pcm.x 1 Then paste some of that in here. Let's see if the CPU is idling some other way. -adrian ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mail

Hm, no thermal monitoring and no speedstep. Could be dangerous/fun. What's the output of sysctl dev.cpu.0 ? -adrian On 23 May 2015 at 07:40, Kimmo Paasiala wrote: > On Sat, May 23, 2015 at 5:15 PM, Ian Smith wrote: >> On Sat, 23 May 2015 14:01:16 +0300, Kimmo Paasiala wrote: >> > On Sat,

Hi, The whole point of throttling on modern hardware isn't to get really low clock rates, it's to deal with being out of thermal envelope. But, the modern intel cores will do that for you without OS involvement. So, you don't have to actually use p4tcc and it may actually configure your hardware

Hi, I just noticed that my CPU's frequency doesn't support dropping below 1200MHz. It used to be able to go down to 150MHz, if I am not mistaken. I'd like it to go down to 600MHz via powerd, like it used to go. This is a month's old 10-STABLE. [nik@moby ~]$ sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels dev.cpu.
