I got the i9 13980hx recently and I’m having trouble with cpu frequency. When running dxvk/wine my cpu runs all cores at 2200 mhz.
Clocks to high in windows and I have to underclock CPU. I tried both enabling and disabling BIOS vs ASUS Armoury Crate in windows.
Tried kernel 5.19 and kernel 6.2
Currently this i9 is almost a potato in linux.
What do you mean by this?
In general intel cpus have no issues, but some laptop manufacturers have weird implementations that rely on windows tools. I have a i7 12800 that runs fast and hot (up to 100C) if it is set to optimized/performance in bios. Mine is a dell btw.
Check the bios for settings related to cooling or battery, hopefully that can fix it.
have you tried setting your governor to “performance”
I have an ASUS Scar 16 model. ASUS has an AI Tweaker in BIOS. In the BIOS it also has a setting for overclocking through BIOS or windows ASUS Armoury Crate option, I tried both options with no results.
I’ve tinkered with most the settings, I’ve also tried cpufreq and cpupower-gui.
Part of me just thinks linux drivers haven’t ironed out the drivers for new intel chips on mobile.
lm-sensors is working great, my lenovo legion 5 with 5800h couldn’t use lm-sensors properly.
ASUS BIOS is actually really impressive for my laptop experience, but for whatever reason when running dxvk/wine the clocks start out fine and then drop to 2200 mhz and don’t budge.
I did with cpufreq and cpupower-gui is they’re method through command-line? Might work better.
it’s in powersave mode, what command changes system to performance?
sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils
sudo cpufreq-set -r -g performance
these commands only set one core to performance
cpupower-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb
This package was able to set all cores to performance. However performance mode didn’t do anything. All cores still drop to 2200 mhz in-games.
found temporary fix
But I couldn’t replicate my fix. I’m going to begin with a fresh install and try again.
Ubuntu Unity 21.10 worked, but barely. I had to uninstall NVIDIA drivers, install kernel 6.2 and reinstall NVIDIA Drivers. Now everything is currently working fine.
I’m still trying to look into fan control/temp limit options for i9.
This old shell script gave me best results so far.
Regardless I used usb c power delivery will running Elden Ring at a nearly locked 2560x1600 60 FPS while battery slowly drained and laptop was whisper quiet.
Unfortunately the laptop is louder with same game setting when plugged into AC power.
That’s why I want to find ways to limit power and temps of cpu/gpu.
13980hx only needs about 25 watts and rtx 4090 only needs about 80 watts for Elden Ring 2560x1600 at 60FPS.
