Here is the solution I use for my Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz , which may be a convenient workaround:
In /etc/sysctl.conf: hw.perfpolicy=manual hw.setperf=85 If undocked, I use a different soution of this in /etc/rc.conf.local obsdfreqd_flags=-T 48 -m 85 You can find obsdfreqd here (excelent tool, and code examplel!): https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-03-21-openbsd-cool-frequency.html --- This keep my machine from going over 120 degrees Fahrenheit and ensures max performance at that temp when docked. The CPU speed does not exceed 1.7G, which if fine for my use. Your CPU may need different numbers for your target temp / performance... -- David Rinehart On 6/23/22 15:49, cml55uk wrote: > Bare metal OpenBSD 7.1 install. > <snip>
