Set A Lower P-State For My CPU (Underclocking)
In Windows 8 you can set a max/min cpu speed percentage allowing you to use your cpu at a lower or higher P-State. For example, my cpu has a default speed of 2.3ghz (turbo 3.2ghz), however using the max/min settings I can underclock it to a stable 1.36ghz (which appears to be the lowest supported setting on my cpu?). How can I do this under Ubuntu 13.10? I would prefer a non-terminal command method if possible.

I would use CPUFreq
I used CPUFreq in order to under-clock my processor in my laptop. Unfortunately, my laptop had an nForce motherboard chipset, and I couldn't undervolt my processor with the traditional Intel methods... and that was all there was. However I was from a 2.4GHz to 1.6 drop, and that helped reduce the heat and power consumption in my laptop.
Download cpufreq from the repository.
Open a terminal as root or use sudo:
Code:
cpufreq-info
to view your profiles and
Code:
cpufreq-set
to set your profiles.
Use
Code:
cpufreq-set -h
To determine what to put in the command line.
