Comments on CPU Frequency Scaling In Ubuntu

CPU Frequency Scaling In Ubuntu So, you have an irritatingly loud CPU fan which is making you consider whether or not launching your laptop through the nearest window is a good idea. Well, before you do that, why not give CPU frequency scaling a go.

Any word on whether or not, or specifics of code, if this hack will work on a laptop with AMD 64?  (HP dv8000)

 Thanks, Doug

I have the AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile in my HP DV9000 and it has processor stepping. 

 on windows (dual boot PC) I have increased the multiplier to 10x (2500mhz from 2000mhz)

 Speedfan shows that it is temperature stable and it is set to automatically scale back for overtemp situations.

I have noticed that my cpu speed is not stepping in Xubuntu and if i did set the clock speed with this it would not have any failsafe. temperature is the biggest problem with overclocking laptops and i would prefer not to fry mine :)

also im a relative noob to xubuntu so thanks for the help!!
