Undervolt PHC option
Hi i am new to undervolting. Currently using Linux Mint XFCE 20.2 and would like to try to undervolt the cpu.
Got introduce to Liquorix kernel because they said it enable by default. Anyway how to use the phc-intel function cos i could not find the phc at /sys/devices/sstem/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq CPU q9450 and Mobile T4200 Back to top |

past inxi -bCxz so we can see the system data.

/sys/devices/sstem/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq is hopefully not what you typed, should be:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq Back to top |

Liquorix doesn't have the PHC patches and I've never applied them. The patches themselves look invasive and can alter the behavior of users that never intended to undervolt. Here's an example: gitlab.com/linux-phc/phc-intel/-/blob/master/inc/5.8/linux-phc-0.4.0.patch
Also, the developer of this patch never properly used git to track changes, making it a nightmare and a huge liability to include into Liquorix (and Zen Kernel as an extension). By keeping the changes in patch form, maintainers lose access to the metadata in git (ancestor commit ID), we'd normally have to forward port on every major linux update. Small things like this are important and it's a shame the author never maintained the patches optimally. Fortunately today on modern Intel processors, we have throttled, where you can undervolt and specify the package power limit. The daemon works well and I use it today to get more battery life on my work and personal laptops. As for your system, you're on your own. Arch linux has a wiki that you can try following, but the commands you need to run will be different on Linux Mint: wiki.archlinux.org/title/PHC Back to top |

i'd again by downloading the zip on this site https://gitlab.com/linux-phc/phc-intel
and it work using liquorix kernel 5.12.0-19.1-liquorix-amd64 can see now phc at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc-control anyway on "throttled" app you'd mention does it work with core 2 duo or core 2 quad intel cpu. i just need an app that work iwth both c2d and c2q intel to udervolt the cpu voltage. do you know other than phc-intel that can undervolt intel core 2 duo and intel core 2 quad cpu?
