Title: Kubuntu - CPU scaling, usually stuck in low setting
Post by: mahesh on Oct 12, 2023, 08:14 AM
Hi

I have a laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, and I have Kubuntu 22.04 (work requires LTS version). This CPU can scale between 1200 Mhz - 2400 Mhz - 3600 Mhz. The problem is, 80% of the time, it's stuck at 1200Mhz which is noticeably very laggy.

I've tried to search for and use some tools to manually set the speed, but nothing has worked. I'm wondering if someone can help me - ideally I want to pick myself what the speed should be (most of the time I'd want the full speed, maybe sometimes 2.4Ghz, and probably never 1.2Ghz). Or at least a far more aggressive scaling algorithm.

Most recently I tried
Code:
sudo cpupower frequency-set -f 3200
however even though the output makes it seem like it's working, it doesn't actually do anything.

Thanks
