Hi everybody,
recently I was wondering if Cool & Quiet of my Athlon64 3200+ is working
correctly on linux. /proc/cpuinfo shows me about 800 MHz cpu speed
when the system is idle and about 2000 MHz under load. So my
question is whether this information is enough to tell that Cool & Quiet
is working.
The board is a Gigabyte K8N Pro with bios version F11, cpu stepping is 8.
On Gigabyte's website I found no hint that Cool & Quiet is actually supposed
to work, so I didn't try it on windoze. But, hey, on linux (SuSE 9.1 Pro) it
works out of the box as it seems.
Am I right, or does /proc/cpuinfo only show what speed the processor
is supposed to run at and not what it is currently running?
Here is some more information from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq:
for i in *; do echo $i; cat $i; done
==>
cpuinfo_max_freq
2000000
cpuinfo_min_freq
800000
scaling_available_frequencies
2000000 1800000 800000
