24.1 Legacy Series / Re: Wrongly detected CPU frequency

It looks like your CPU supports Intel Speed Shift. You should be using hwpstate_intel driver instead and disable powerd.

Please refer to handbook section about Intel Speed Shift https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/config/#hwpstate_intel

Many thanks Zan! That fixed my issue. Wasn't aware of that driver change.
Thanks again for making this community great!

Hi Seimus,

Thanks for your advice.
Unfortunately my root issue is CPU max speed is not detected correctly so modifying lowest C states is not helping.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to read my post and replying

Hi Newsense,

Thanks for your reply.
I've imported it from a Proxmox VM running Opensense 24.1_1 on an Intel i5-10210U. I typically do that for major releases to verify that everything works fine first in a non-production easy-to-spin-up VM. Never had any issue importing config back to the production physical FW.

The sensors are set for "Intel Core* CPU on-die thermal sensor (coretemp)". It is working fine as reports the CPU temperature correctly.

Thanks.

24.1 Legacy Series / [Solved] Wrongly detected CPU frequency

« on: February 05, 2024, 07:56:44 pm »

Dear colleagues and Opensense makers,

First of all let me thank you all for your hard work and contributions to Opensense! I'm enjoying this platform since 2019.
Upgraded to v24.1_1, fresh install importing config. All good except CPU frequency not being detecting properly so instead of scaling up and down it stays at maximum freq. Hopefully somebody can help me. Not a critical issue.

I have an Intel Celeron 3965U which typically goes from 400Mhz to 2200Mhz but now is stuck to 2200Mhz. Dmidecode is showing that processor max frequency was wrongly recognized (8300 MHz). There is no enough liquid nitrogen in the world to achieve that freq in my tiny CPU LOL. Powerd is getting crazy due that as well. No BIOS changes/updates. I has been working fine with a number of Opensense releases since 2020.

Code: [Select]

:~ # dmidecode -t processor
# dmidecode 3.5
# SMBIOS entry point at 0x9f61c000
Found SMBIOS entry point in EFI, reading table from /dev/mem.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.
