CPUPOWER-FREQUENCY-SET(1)                          cpupower Manual                          CPUPOWER-FREQUENCY-SET(1)



NAME
       cpupower frequency-set - A small tool which allows to modify cpufreq settings.

SYNTAX
       cpupower [ -c cpu ] frequency-set [options]

DESCRIPTION
       cpupower  frequency-set  allows  you to modify cpufreq settings without having to type e.g. "/sys/devices/sys‐
       tem/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_set_speed" all the time.

OPTIONS
       -d --min <FREQ>
              new minimum CPU frequency the governor may select.

       -u --max <FREQ>
              new maximum CPU frequency the governor may select.

       -g --governor <GOV>
              new cpufreq governor.

       -f --freq <FREQ>
              specific frequency to be set. Requires userspace governor to be available and loaded.

       -r --related
              modify all hardware-related CPUs at the same time


       REMARKS

       By default values are applied on all cores. How to modify single  core  configurations  is  described  in  the
       cpupower(1) manpage in the --cpu option section.

       The -f FREQ, --freq FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter.

       FREQuencies  can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz by postfixing the value with the wanted unit
       name, without any space (frequency in kHz =^ Hz * 0.001 =^ MHz * 1000 =^ GHz * 1000000).

       On Linux kernels up to 2.6.29, the -r or --related parameter is ignored.
