June 6, 20215 yr cpu fx-8320. mobo- sabertooth 990fx r2.0 Your CPU is running constantly at 100% and will not throttle down when its idle (to save heat / power). This is because there is currently no CPU Scaling Driver Installed. the above is from the fix common problems plugin My server uses about 170 watt constantly. regardless of actual cpu load. The motherboard setting has been set to factory default and checked to see that power saving has been enabled. (as far as I know) Any ideas?
June 6, 20215 yr Author I found this on the wiki Add CPU scaling for AMD systems Problem: You have AMD CPU's and on the Dashboard, your CPU speeds never drop below their maximum. That means you are always using higher power, even when not needed (increasing your electric bill). Suggested fix: Add the line below to the config/go file; you can also run it right now at a command prompt modprobe powernow_k8 where is the config/go file location?
