Re: [PLUG] cpufreq governor selection

[Tomas Kuchta]

I can give you old, unused 4 core 64b ASRock Q1900DC mini-itx board. It
takes 10W from 12-19V power brick, it is 64bit and probably faster to
replace than you problematic piece of HW.

I do not use it because the battery keeping cmos ram and rtc is not
working. So, it needs screen and keyboard to hit F1 in order to come out of
power loss. That is not useful for closet server board. Otherwise it works
just fine. Maybe it just need new battery, I don't know.

If you are getting CPU overheating, esp. with this Athlon II X2, which ,
you will need to look at defective case fans, CPU fan or reseat the CPU
heat sink with fresh CPU paste. The ones I had here I used to pushed
push hard with seti@home, climatepredictions@home, einstain@home etc
BOINC projects, and yes games, and never had any significant heat issues.

 AMD CPUs run much cooler than the typical Intel CPUs of the same era.
Athlon II X2 255 have a TPD of only 65W. the cpufrew module just
overrides the built in automatic CPU speed settings and is only useful
to safe power (lower electric bill).

You should be able to run that CPU all day at full blast without
overheating.  Check your cooling fans and CPU heat sink.
