Hi all,
I did quite a bit of searching before posting here to make sure as best as i could that this problem wasn't covered somewhere else.
Here it is.
This is NOT a conky only problem, nor is it related to the governors as far as i can tell. I can throttle cpu at will.
Linux mint Rebecca x64
-cpu is Phenom II x4 960T overclocked to 4.007GHz ( 229 x 17.5 )
-Windows confirms 4Ghz with all the different tools i used to verify.
-indicator-cpufreq is installed and set to max settings.
output from cpufreq-info (am just posting 1 core ) :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
analyzing CPU 3:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 3
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 3
maximum transition latency: 4.0 us.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.50 GHz
available frequency steps: 3.50 GHz, 2.30 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.50 GHz.
The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 3.50 GHz.
cpufreq stats: 3.50 GHz:71.18%, 2.30 GHz:0.53%, 1.60 GHz:0.59%, 800 MHz:27.70% (1034)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this is the line in my Conky config that shows the freq :
~~~~~
${color}Frequency (in MHz):${color grey}$freq
~~~~~
any other console commands that i have found online, and tried pretty much all give me the same kind of results. Reading cpu at 3.5GHZ even though bios says 4.0.
Any help and/or insight is greatly appreciated.
Overclocked cpu, frequency being misread by linux and Conky.
