detz Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm trying to figure out why my i7 3.4Ghz can't stream more than 1 1080p plex movie. It should be able to do four but it can't even handle two. Not that it's probably anything but I noticed on the dashboard my 3.4Ghz cpus never go above 1Ghz, I'm I reading too much into this? How can I verify everything with the cpu is setup correctly? This is also under full load so I would think they would all be much higher than 1Ghz, right? root@Tower:/mnt/user/Movies# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "MHz" cpu MHz : 1099.953 cpu MHz : 1099.953 cpu MHz : 1009.109 cpu MHz : 1033.679 cpu MHz : 1021.328 cpu MHz : 1113.234 cpu MHz : 1039.656 cpu MHz : 999.945 Is this a bios or unraid issue?

Why don't you get your MB manual out and read about the options for throttling your CPU. You might also check the Power profile settings in your BIOS. Quote Link to comment
Kewjoe Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Your system status is strange for me. Mine shows cpu utilization for each core/thread. I don't see how fast they are running. Is there a setting to change that? i checked everywhere and couldn't find anything. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 unRAID v6.1.9 shows CPU frequencies, while unRAID v6.2.0rc2 shows CPU load. Quote Link to comment
LSL1337 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 old topic, but just a quick question. is there a way for me to check the current cpu freq with the 6.2.x version? (plugin maybe?) It doesn't have to be on the main dashboard. I just want to check my cpu governor thanks! Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 With Sandybridge or newer you can check the real frequency, with Nehalem it will only show max base frequency (no boost), SSH into your server and type: watch -n 1 grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo 2 Quote Link to comment
