High clock speeds in automatic mode

[kyvaith]

Hi,

Is it normal that in automatic mode the clock speeds are way above the detected demand? If I manually change the speed step on first tab even to the lowest level, the system runs normally and smoothly with lower clocks.

Hi @kyvaith, yes that's the expected behavior. The UI there is just some intuitive(or at least im trying to) indicator of the load, so the load doesn't have any unit, but the speed does.

But if there is no real need to keep CPU performance at such a high level (idle, nothing on, nothing happening), shouldn't the clocks be lowered?

I see there is something like that for Linux systems https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq

The mannual config resets after every reboot. Is there a way to set it to lower freq on every boot?

I don't think we have that option now. But if you have AMD Power Gadget start at login then it would be easy to use it to set the default? Could be a easy feature to implement.
