Hello guys, I'm new with bazzite and I'm looking for a way to limit the max cpu frequency on startup

Hello guys, I'm new with bazzite and I'm looking for a way to limit the max cpu frequency on startup, I've been searching the web and looking into cpupower and tuned but I'm a bit lost.

Can you tell me a bit more about your hardware and why you're looking to do that?

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:02 PM

Helps me make the right decision in where you go from here

KeroOP•3/25/24, 11:04 PM

Yeah I have a Ryzen 5600X and I enabled amd-pstate, when I'm playing sometimes the CPU gets too hot because of the boosted freqs and stock cooler.

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:05 PM

Odd, that really shouldn't happen under normal use cases. Anyway, that means the thing I was hoping you could do is not really an option

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:05 PM

You would have to layer another tool and set up a service to put a limit on the frequency

KeroOP•3/25/24, 11:06 PM

I tried lowering the max freq manually from the default 4.6X Ghz to 4.0 Ghz using cpupower and it solved the temp issues but when rebooting I need to set it up manually again.

KeroOP•3/25/24, 11:07 PM

Yeah it happened before I don't know why but sometimes the CPU gets to 90 degrees celsius

What do you recommend for that?

CPU power with a custom service to redo it on boot and suspend resume

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:09 PM

That would be the best imo

KeroOP•3/25/24, 11:17 PM

From what I read in the arch wiki I don't find the config file and it seems there's no service for cpupower, maybe it's because bazzite uses TuneD?

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:17 PM

Nah they're separate

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:17 PM

You can make the service in /etc/systemd/system

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:17 PM

Then enable it as normal

Kyle Gospo•3/25/24, 11:17 PM

We don't remove it, so it may just not be present in Fedora by default

KeroOP•3/25/24, 11:44 PM

That solved it, thank you! (It needed After=tuned.service in the [Unit] section to overwrite the freq governor set by TuneD)

Fork Your Own image

Making your own Bazzite or Bluefin Sometimes you don’t want to make a whole new image from scratch, you just want to change some things without too much extra work. Sometimes it’s nicer to derive from images that more end-user focused like Bazzite and Bluefin. Use Cases You want to help development by being able to test your contributions prio...

custom image framework for fedora atomic using OCI images

wea•3/26/24, 1:47 AM

can you elaborate furhter

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/26/24, 1:47 AM

can essentially make images off of a stable base (fedora atomic i.e. silverblue/kinoite) and the maintenance burden of upkeeping anything from upstream doesn't really exist for the most part

wea•3/26/24, 1:47 AM

it do have some similariies with nix os i think

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/26/24, 1:48 AM

you can "declare" an image with a containerfile kind of. it's not going to make a Nix enthusiast claim it's reproducible because it's really not. the custom image you make is more about preinstalled packages, services, etc.

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/26/24, 1:48 AM

it's not exactly like learning the nix language, and end users using bazzite, bluefin, aurora, etc. do not really need to learn any of this
