August 1, 20196 yr Community Expert By default the CPU scaling governor is set for performance, you can set it to powersave and the CPU will downclock easier, but note that it won't downclock much under any significant load, I found around 10w total savings from both my always on servers when set to powersave. echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor Repeat for the other cpus, until cpu7 for you server, if you like it you'll need to re-apply after every reboot, you can do it with user scripts.
