My Athlon X6 1090T is overclocked from 3200 to 3700, yet appears to be running at 800mhz. I've stopped /etc/init.d/cpufreq, but where the monitor usually shows 3200 when it's stopped, now it's showing 800. processor : 5 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 16 model : 10 model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 3200.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 6 core id : 5 cpu cores : 6 apicid : 5 initial apicid : 5 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 6 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nonstop_tsc extd_apicid aperfmperf pni monitor cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt cpb npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save bogomips : 7449.19 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 48 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps hwpstate [9] # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/bios_limit 3200000 # dmesg |grep Detected [ 0.000000] Detected 3724.112 MHz processor.

In order to fix the speed to a certain frequency, you have to use the -a option: -a <AC file> Sets the ACPI AC adapter state file and tells the program to set the CPU cores to minimum speed when the AC adapter is disconnected. (This is the default but is changeable by the '-D' option below). Where does this AC file come from? This is my desktop, not a laptop, so there is no other option than to use the AC adapter. If I start /etc/init.d/cpuspeed, it will control the CPU, but it never really seems to go above 800mhz, even when it should be necessary.
