Problem

How to use the cpufreq-set command: A tool to modify CPU frequency settings. The frequency value should range between the output of command cpufreq-info -l. More information: <https://manned.org/cpufreq-set>.

Solution

cpufreq-set — A tool to modify CPU frequency settings. The frequency value should range between the output of command cpufreq-info -l. More information: <https://manned.org/cpufreq-set>.

Set the CPU frequency policy of CPU 1 to "userspace":

sudo cpufreq-set {{[-c|--cpu]}} {{1}} {{[-g|--governor]}} {{userspace}}

Set the current minimum CPU frequency of CPU 1:

sudo cpufreq-set {{[-c|--cpu]}} {{1}} {{[-d|--min]}} {{min_frequency}}

Set the current maximum CPU frequency of CPU 1:

sudo cpufreq-set {{[-c|--cpu]}} {{1}} {{[-u|--max]}} {{max_frequency}}

Set the current work frequency of CPU 1:

sudo cpufreq-set {{[-c|--cpu]}} {{1}} {{[-f|--freq]}} {{work_frequency}}
