README: undervolt A tool for manipulating voltage and frequency of AMD Brazos and Ontario CPUs, to undervolt and / or underclock (overclock should be possible, but is not tested). Targets C-30, C-50, C-60, E-240, E-300, E-350, E-450. Linux-based. Release Notes : 0.4 32bits support / Finally. 32/64 bits portability C-60 support Documentation Support clock (frequency) changes REQUIREMENTS gcc, make, this archive COMPILATION Just execute make in the undervolt-code directory $ make USE: undervolting Load the msr module $ modprobe msr Read the cpu Pstates $ sudo undervolt -c P-state Vid Voltage div 0 0x18 1.2500V 2.00 1 0x1A 1.2250V 2.50 2 0x33 0.9125V 4.00 Pstate by pstate, increase the Vid and check that your system doesn't lock-up : $ sudo undervolt -P 0:0x19 (change the Vid for mode P0 to 0x19) Check that the changes have been applied (you may need the system to go from idle to active and back, that is change P-states, for the changes to apply). $ sudo undervolt -c CPU 0: current P-state: 0, current Vid: 0x19/1.2375V, current div: 2.00 CPU 1: current P-state: 2, current Vid: 0x19/1.2375V, current div: 4.00 Continue until you reach a reasonable target (no lock ups). Record the values, and arrange for undervolt to be called at startup, by, for example, adding the following two lines to your /etc/rc.local : modprobe msr pathToUndervolt/undervolt -p 0:<yourValueForP0> -p 1:<yourValueForP1> -p 2:<yourValueForP2>
