Zyep
ZI suspect it to be amd-pstate
Aquestion, do you use decky?
Aone thing you could try out is SimpleDeckyTDP and change your governor + EPP to powersave
ASDTDP wasn't meant for the Deck, but it should work if you disable the TDP and GPU controls in the plugin
Zdecky loader?
Athis would just be for to test and see if the governors are your issue
Ayes, decky loader
Zyes
AAinstall it, then in the plugin disable TDP and GPU controls
Athen play around with governors, EPP, CPU boost, etc
Aand see if that resolves your issue
Zalright
Anote that this wouldn't be a permanent fix, it sounds like something is probably misconfigured for the Deck
Zmaybe powertools?
Aohh, powertools might have the same controls maybe
Atry it
AI'm only familiar with SDTDP, never used powertools since it's Deck-only
Zit might be conflicting with something
Agimme a min, let me dig up some commands for seeing governor, epp, etc
Msteamos still uses acpi-cpufreq set to schedutil
Adeck with bazzite?
Apretty sure it's p-state
Abut not 100% sure
Mwe use p-states yeah
Zthought so
AAalso
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boostoh, so governor and epp looks fine
Acheck the cpb_boost
Acat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boostlet's try disabling that
Zecho 0 and tee I think
Aecho 'disabled' | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boostsee if that fixes your issue
Zrestart?
Aerr, if you restart, the changes won't persist on reboot
Zforgot, you'd have to write the changes for that
Ayep. basically I suggested SDTDP as a temp workaround since it has governor + epp + boost controls for amd-pstate
Aand it will set the values when you enter game mode
Abut we'd first want to see if the problem even is cpu boost to begin with
Afor all we know, it's something else entirely
Z
A
if SDTDP works on the Steam Deck, perhaps I could submit it to the Decky store officially lolAonly does CPU Boost + power governor + epp on the deck
