Sure. Here's the easiest way: In terminal do:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies this will give you a list of what speeds your processor can run at. make note of them. now in the terminal do: sudo aptitude install sysfsutils once it's done installing that, do (again in terminal): gksudo gedit /etc/sysfs.conf That will open a file, you need to add the following lines to that file (at the end of it): devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq = MAX devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq = MIN but replace MIN with whatever number was smallest of the available_frequencies in the first step and replace MAX by a number from available_frequencies that seems reasonable (I use 600000 for MIN and 1000000 for MAX, i.e. 600MHz and 1GHz). Then save the file and restart. I pretty much used trial and error, lowering MAX (make sure it is always set to one of the available_frequencies values of course) until there are no longer overheating problems. -- CPU overheats during high usage "throttling <not supported>" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
