/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
contains "powersave" but the file scaling_available_governors
in the same folder implies that a performance
governor is available. Changing the contents of the first file will not persist reboots.
Same applies for all (virtual) cpu cores named cpuX in /sys/devices/system/cpu/
.
-
Install the package
cpufreqd
(on Arch Linux via the AUR) -
Enable the service to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable cpufreqd
OR sudo service cpufreqd enable
-
Either restart now or start the service manually by replacing "enable" with "start" in the previous command.
-
Verify if it has worked by looking into the contents of the
scaling_governor
file. It should now contain "performance".
If you want to revert all the changes
-
remove the package
cpufreqd
-
either reboot or manually edit the scaling
scaling_governor
file for each cpuX folder under the path listed above
Feel free to comment!
