I have a SuperMicro X10SRi-F server with a Xeon 1650v3 CPU. I'm trying to disable frequency scaling on the processor without any luck (don't know if it is even possible at all).
I've disabled Speed Step on the BIOS, put the machine in the 'High performance' power profile, but still see wide swings in frequency:
I really need all the power the machine can give me (I'm recording and playing broadcast video).
Is there any way to fix the CPU frequency? Is this normal!?
Interesting. I would expect that you would want these speed swings to get more performance. As in: Lower freq and less heat production when waiting for non-CPU tasks, and more turno headroom (for a while) when you do have CPU tasks. – Hennes – 2016-01-12T09:53:57.620
In the normal case, I agree, but I'm using a Matrox card for professional video, which doesn't like the frequency swings... – Pablo Montilla – 2016-01-12T11:27:14.217
