J89eu Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi all How would I go about getting the AMD Ryzen CPU scaling driver? I've had a look around the forum but struggling to find any outright answer. My CPU just sits at the base clock of 3.6GHz currently. Cheers Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 If you install the Tips and Tweaks plugin you can choose a CPU Scaling Governor from a menu. "On demand" is the one I use. You can also enable AMD Cool 'n' Quiet in the BIOS. Quote Link to comment
J89eu Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi John I had both of those already enabled but still get the same Thanks Quote Link to comment

Question 2: is there actual load on the cores? The scaling only kicks in when there's load (you can pick "Performance" which will kick it up at really low load) Question 3: how did you check CPU frequency? Quote Link to comment

I assumed that the OP wants the clocks to scale down when idle or lightly loaded, given that 23 hours ago, J89eu said: My CPU just sits at the base clock of 3.6GHz @J89eu please clarify what behaviour you are expecting to see.

J89eu Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi, I will update the thread shortly, cannot reboot as running a parity check! Question 1: did you enable Precision Boost in BIOS? - I am not sure, I will check this Question 2: is there actual load on the cores? The scaling only kicks in when there's load (you can pick "Performance" which will kick it up at really low load) - Yes, I have been gaming on the VM which has 50% of the cores assigned to it Question 3: how did you check CPU frequency? On this occasion I checked the VM but perhaps that won't boost the CPU and I should instead be checking via SSH or similar? Would cpufreq-info show this? Quote Link to comment
