hi, i have a intel dual core t2700 with 2.16ghz. vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 14 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2600 @ 2.16GHz stepping : 8 the files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq say: affected_cpus:0 cpuinfo_cur_freq:1667000 cpuinfo_max_freq:2167000 cpuinfo_min_freq:1000000 scaling_available_frequencies:2167000 1667000 1333000 1000000 scaling_available_governors:userspace performance scaling_cur_freq:1667000 scaling_driver:centrino scaling_governor:userspace scaling_max_freq:1667000 scaling_min_freq:1667000 scaling_setspeed:1667000 now, i try to set 2.17 ghz, but it always stays at 1.7: echo 2167000 > scaling_setspeed # cat cpuinfo_cur_freq 1667000 i tried every possible combination, and also other cpu frequency tools like cpufreqd and cpufreq-set funny enough, it worked suddenly once 2 days ago...but i can't figure out what was different. i guess, it's either some chipset-internal regulation, or some cpu daemon running. has anyone some advice? regards, toby
