Hm, I checked that and got # cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/t* temperature: 69 C critical (S5): 98 C I'm using a KDE Plasmoid watching my CPU temerpatur running between 65° - 79° I doubt that. > It could also be that BIOS limited the max frequency. > I recently posted a patch on this list to be able to detect that: > [PATCH 3/3] ACPI/CPUFREQ: Introduce hw_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs > interface Oh. That's interesting. This may also explain the sudden drops in CPU frequency while working (power plugged in and online serving ...). Maybe my BIOS is broken ... I'm owning a Dell Latitude D810 and the BIOS. Ok. I'm going to grab the current kernel-sources and compile along with your patch to check my hw_limit data. Thx in the meatime. KR, Oliver
