How to disable energy saving plan permanently?

[Michael_]

I was experiencing Audio Dropouts.

I installed "cpupower" and by executing the following command i found out that my system was using the "powersave" CPU Governor:

Code: Select all

sudo cpupower frequency-info

With the following command i was able to change that to the "performance" governor/plan:

Code: Select all

sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance

This solved my issues but the problem is that this will not survive a reboot.
It seems like there is no built in feature in MX Linux to change the power plan?

How can i permanently disable the energy saving stuff since this is a workstation and not an office machine?

I'm ideally looking for an easy way without complicated scripts and setup. If possible.

Maybe it would also be possible to do this in the UEFI instead of on the OS Level?
I have this Board: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/ ... /X13SWA-TF
which has plenty of settings but i'm not an expert with this power saving stuff so i do not want to mess something up. Disabling Speedstep did NOT help but also disabled Turbo Boost.

If that command is doing what you want, then lets just run it.

put this command in /etc/rc.local, just above the "exit 0" that is in the file by default.

Code: Select all

cpupower frequency-set -g performance

note no sudo. you don't need it when running from rc.local.

Thanks this did it!

Anything else i should be doing in order to tweak the system for maximum performance?

A Liquorix kernel uses the performance governor by default...
