Hi void It will work , you will need to re-enable c-states and p-states etc in the bios . Dmesg is only showing the cpu has the options but the bios controls the ability to use it . Iirc hp has some opaque options to enable high performance mode in the bios . This usually kills most of the power management stuff . Google for low latency tunings for your model and chances are you will find a pdf with options for making the host eat more power and improve latency as well as options that save power at the expense of increasing latency. --- Mark Saad | [email protected] >
