echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Then to set it back to normal. You don't need to use "powersave" see more options here, as it's just an example. According to the Arch Wiki you likely want "ondemand" for AMD: echo powersave | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

You can find out what performance mode you're in right now by running this in terminal: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor My default on the Intel i7 5960x is powersave, for example.
