 Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:21 am Post subject: problems with CPU overclocking |
 |
|
so i have an i7 7700k processor and the default clock speed is 4.2 GHz, however in BIOS settings i have it overclocked to 4.5.
on gentoo every place i check says that my processor clock speed is 4.2 GHz even though it should be at 4.5. on other distros such as debian it works just fine however.
does someone know what i can do to fix this issue? |

| FWIW, I had to recompile the kernel with the intel p-state driver enabled to get turbo working here. |

In my case only this gave me the correct speed :
| Code: | | dmidecode --type Processor |
maybe there are some other ways but I'm not aware of them. |

| Code: | │ Symbol: X86_INTEL_PSTATE [=y] │
│ Type : boolean │
│ Prompt: Intel P state control │
│ Location: │
│ -> Power management and ACPI options │
│ -> CPU Frequency scaling │
│ (1) -> CPU Frequency scaling (CPU_FREQ [=y]) │
│ Defined at drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig.x86:5 │
│ Depends on: CPU_FREQ [=y] && X86 [=y] │
│ Selects: ACPI_PROCESSOR [=y] |
You can use "/" in menuconfig to search for such things. |
