July 18, 20232 yr Got a new heatsink for my server, installed and realized it wasnt mounted correctly and was throttling. After reinstalling heatsink I monitored CPU MHz using `watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo` and saw my 3900x was only boosting to 4GHz under load! I went to "Tips and Tweaks" and changed `Normal CPU Scaling Governor` from `Power Saver` to `On Demand` and the CPU started boosting to 4.5GHz single core and 4.1GHz all core. I don't remember ever setting or changing this value, not sure if it is default. Edited July 18, 20232 yr by mlapaglia
