| furkan | tjaalton: i just remembered that you have a skylake build :) was wondering if you could confirm something for me... but unrelated to X | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| furkan | i tried running a prime95 torture test, and my CPU (i7-6700K) gets throttled to 2.7GHz even though the temperature is in the mid 40s | 00:03 |
| furkan | under Windows 10, it goes full blast at 4GHz | 00:03 |
| furkan | i'm running Ubuntu 16.04, and it happens both with the stock kernel and 4.7rc4 | 00:04 |
| RAOF | furkan: Hm. Do you have thermald installed, and if so, have you tried disabling it? | 00:53 |
| furkan | RAOF: i do have thermald installed... i just tried disabling it (service thermald stop) and doesn't seem to have made a difference | 01:58 |
| furkan | i thought with the "Speed Shift" feature introduced with Skylake, the frequency scaling should be done in hardware | 02:00 |
| RAOF | I just recall a bug where thermald would incorrectly limit some xeon processors to low clock states, and wondered whether the same applied here. | 02:03 |
| furkan | you know what... i just booted into a live ISO | 02:05 |
| furkan | and it's working fine | 02:05 |
| furkan | kind of ridiculous, because i just did a clean install like a week ago | 02:05 |
| furkan | i didn't touch any of the system configs, but i did install a few packages like lm-sensors to let me monitor the temps | 02:06 |
| RAOF | Superb! | 02:08 |
| RAOF | The live ISO has thermald installed, right? Stopping thermald might not be enough; it might set the processor into a software-managed state? | 02:09 |
| furkan | RAOF: never mind i spoke too soon | 02:13 |
| furkan | i just had to let it go for another 10-20 seconds | 02:13 |
| furkan | before it throttled down to 2700MHz | 02:13 |
| furkan | and yeah thermald is installed on the live ISO | 02:14 |
| furkan | i guess it might have something to do with it | 02:15 |
| furkan | not sure what to try other than stopping the service though | 02:15 |
| furkan | i didn't seem to have the problem before, when i had the Asus "multicore enhancement" feature enabled, which locks all the cores at the turbo frequency | 02:19 |
| furkan | but i | 02:19 |
| furkan | i'd rather not have that enabled | 02:19 |
| furkan | r33nllamashoes | 02:29 |
| furkan | sorry wrong window | 02:29 |
| furkan | anyway tjaalton i'd appreciate it if you could give prime95 a whirl on your Skylake CPU when you have a chance, and let me know | 02:30 |
| RAOF | Time for a password change? :) | 02:32 |
| furkan | RAOF: hah, yeah, luckily it wasn't anything important :P | 04:27 |
| furkan | i mostly use key-based auth | 04:27 |
| furkan | well i have no idea what i did... but it seems to be working fine now | 06:02 |
| furkan | i should just give up on computers | 06:03 |
