[Kernel-packages] [Bug 379873] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked
Just want to chime in here. I have this problem as well. I have had it on several motherboards, several CPUs, and every version of Ubuntu and Debian I have had. I am currently on Lubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-78 and this issue persists. My CPU has a stock speed of 3166MHz on a 1333MHz bus. If I set my bus to 1600MHz, which runs the CPU at 3800MHz, everything reports CPU speed correctly. However, if I run my bus speed anywhere in between 1333MHz and 1600MHz, the CPU speed is *not* correctly reported. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379873 Title: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: The reported frequencies of an overclocked Core 2 Duo are incorrect.

See: http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=13415 After following the instructions from the RAM support tech: - Change CPU bus to 233 from 200 - Change CPU multiplier to restore stock clock (actually a slight overclock) - Change DRAM voltage from 1.5 to 1.6 - Increase CPU-NB voltage by 0.1V to 1.225v - Manually input RAM timings The BIOS reports everything took, but Ubuntu 14.04 is reporting a CPU processor speed of 2.8 Ghz and RAM speed of 1600 Mhz See any of the Phoronix benchmarks posted there for evidence. As far as I can tell, the CPU is running at the higher clock, but Ubuntu is mis-reporting. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = Confirmed ** Tags added: apport-collected cpufreq cpufreq-info cpuinfo dmidecode -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379873 Title: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The reported frequencies of an overclocked Core 2 Duo are incorrect.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 379873] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked
Is this problem unsolvable? Now this issue is almost 5 years old and it haven't been solved yet. Nothing changed, if you are overclocking, you can just displaying the stock frequencies, or with the command dmidecode --type processor the maximum frequency can be displayed, or under Wine with Windows software (Aida, CPU-Z). I have also overclocked my CPU, and I can't now display correct frequencies, just the stock (under Windows the frequency displaying is working properly). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = Confirmed ** Also affects: linux (openSUSE) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379873 Title: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in openSUSE: New Bug description: The reported frequencies of an overclocked Core 2 Duo are incorrect.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 379873] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked
BearTM, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one at the top) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.
