Cpufreq management is not obvious and not easy for a beginner.
However it is useful to save power and reduce the noise (lower speed of fans).
It is useful on laptops and also on desktops.
I use intel procs:
4CPU : i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (mageia 1)
2CPU : E7300 @ 2.66GHz (mageia 1 and cauldron)
On both machines, the lower frequency is 1.60GHz and I have set the governor
to ondemand.
In MCC-> services, cpufreq was enabled, but in fact was not working.
MCC has no tool to configure cpufreq
The plasmoid "Afficheur de charge système" (what is name?) shows the cpu
frequency when the cursor is above it.
IMO, ksysguard should also do that.
A question: Why is there cpufreq and cpufreqd?
Oh, good! I was just trying to figure all this stuff out for my Sempron
64 desktop. I had expected that it would be set up automagically if I
had "Cool'n'Quiet" enabled in the BIOS, but now I learn it isn't. A way
to make this easier would be high on my list of desirable things, too.
