Can you update inxi and show inxi -C
that's: inxi -U as root, then: inxi -C that's a very old inxi. If the failure to show proper cores continues, I'll ask for a debugging data set for inxi. Back to top |

Can you check to see which governor your cpu is using? You can check by running cpufreq-info. It would also be interesting to see the thermal / power settings of your geforce cards:

I am using the "ondemand" CPU governor. However, CPU frequency scaling has been disabled in the BIOS so the CPU always runs at the highest speed. This is because I always run the CPU at 100% so scaling doesn't help me.
Here are my screenshots of GPU information that you requested: 
Pardon my ignorance, but why are we focusing on GPU power management when switching between two kernels using the same nvidia driver solves the problem? Doesn't that rule out the GPUs and driver as the cause? Back to top |

Updated output from inxi 1.7.29:
:: Code :: CPU: Single core Intel Core i5-2500K CPU (-) cache: 6144 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx)
Clock Speeds: 1: 3301.00 MHz 2: 3301.00 MHz 3: 3301.00 MHz 4: 3301.00 MHz 5: 3301.00 MHz 6: 3301.00 MHz 7: 3301.00 MHz 8: 3301.00 MHz I wouldn't worry about it showing as a single core. You will also note that 8 threads are shown. My Folding@home team competition requires a little tweaking of /proc/cpuinfo to get the biggest work units. It can sometimes cause hardware detection tools to report incorrect results. However, I have been doing this for years without running into the problem of increased power consumption with a new kernel so I don't think that is the cause. Back to top |

Can you paste in the output of: cat /proc/cpuinfo
thanks, just want to confirm it's your tweaks and not an inxi bug for intel cpu, since it shows 8 cores it should also know that it's not a single core cpu, even if the file has been changed. Back to top |

mount --bind /tmp/cpuinfo.$$ /proc/cpuinfo I'm not sure what this refers to, all I need is the: cat /procpuinfo ie, I need to see the literal output, not something that requires further processing. That's because what inxi will use and see is /proc/cpuinfo However, with the above data, the bug is confirmed anyway, so I'll get that patched. Back to top |

The first code output above is just "cat /proc/cpuinfo". Since this is slightly modified from it's default state, I included the code that did the modifications in case you needed them. If not, please disregard. If there is anything else I can do to help, let me know.
Even after inxi is patched, is there anything else that I can do to help diagnose the increased power usage in 3.2.0-5 and later liquorix kernels? Back to top |

inxi should now be corrected, update to 1.7.30 and confirm. This is what I get using your /proc/cpuinfo now:
:: Code :: CPU: Quad core Intel Core i5-2500K CPU (-HT-MCP-) cache: 6144 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx) bmips: 26396.6
Clock Speeds: 1: 3301.00 MHz 2: 3301.00 MHz 3: 3301.00 MHz 4: 3301.00 MHz 5: 3301.00 MHz 6: 3301.00 MHz 7: 3301.00 MHz 8: 3301.00 MHz This is NOT an inxi bug, but rather an intel bug in how it gives the kernel its core count data, I used a secondary value to check for such errors, and override the false value ith the secondary test value from cpuinfo, that seems to work. Not sure if it will be correct for dual cpu or more systems, it should be, as long as each cpu has the same core count. Back to top |

klaxian, thanks, happily the data cooperated and recreated the bug on my test inxi ( i inject the file into inxi instead of /proc/cpuinfo), and that made it faiirly easy to fix the problem.
This is issue has been seen before, but I think we never got a /proc/cpuinfo output to debug it. Sorry for injecting my inxi issue into your power consumption issue, unless you see more inxi failures to show correct systme, I'll hand this one back to damentz, just give whatever information is required, you've been very helpful so far, so just keep doing that and a solution should be found. Sometimes things like this are regressions in the kernel itself, unreported. Back to top |
