Hello Mr. Andreas Herrmann, I'm trying to measure power consumption of AMD Opteron 6272 using fam15h_power. Linux kernel version is 3.9.4. Even when all cores are idle, fam15h_power shows about 85W. However, the power consumption decreases to about 74W when a process is executed with all cores. For Linux kernel 3.9.4, the patch for fam15h_power is already applied. Moreover, "RunAvgRange" (p. 460 of BKDG for Family 15h) is appropriately set to "0x9" as following: % setpci -s 00:18.5 0xe0.l % 00372c99 Why is the power consumption so high (85W) when all cores are idle? Why does it decrease when a process is executed with all cores? I would appreciate if you could give me a advice. Sincerely yours, Satoshi _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
