Heyo,

I'm trying to disable the frequency scaling of one of my CPU and set the frequency to the maximum

I tried using cpupower -c 1 frequency-set -g governor and -d 2600000 or with cpufreq-set but nothing works. I get this:

cpufreq

    You have set the governor to "performance", so the frequency should already been set to the maximum. The real question is: why is your current frequency not at its maximum? –  Sep 04 '15 at 10:16
  • yes that's what I'm wondering :/ – David 天宇 Wong Sep 04 '15 at 18:02

You can use pstate-frequency to control the Intel P-state driver: 

sudo pstate-frequency -S -n <integer percentage>

This sets the minimum frequency to whatever you choose.

  • weird thing is that you can only set for one CPU. Also it doesnt' change anything. CPU still running at 1.20GHz when I want it to run at 2.60Ghz – David 天宇 Wong Sep 04 '15 at 18:12
  • The only thing I can think of is thermal throttling, or the CPU going over its TDP. What CPU are you using? Are the temperatures okay? – zhongfu Sep 05 '15 at 03:00
