throttlestop
Simple tool to manage thermal behaviour on Linux for Intel CPUs with a MSR.
Disclaimer
If this tool works, great! However, no guarantees are made that it won't hasten the heat death of the universe through the spontaneous combustion of your CPU.
Installation
Requires msr-tools:
sudo apt install msr-tools
Install tool with
sudo pip3 install throttlestop
Install service with 30 second interval and 4 minute delay using
sudo throttlestop-install-service -i 30s -d 4min,
and configure the service using the interactive prompt (it will find the python binary with sys.executable):
Enter systemd configuration lines:
/usr/bin/python3 -m throttlestop voltage "{\"cache\": -149, \"cpu\": -149}"
/usr/bin/python3 -m throttlestop temperature "{\"offset\": 20}"
/usr/bin/python3 -m throttlestop # Hit return to exit
Finished configuring service!Activate service with
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable throttlestop
systemctl start throttlestop
systemctl enable throttlestop.timer
systemctl start throttlestop.timerAPI
sudo throttlestop SECTION [JSON-STRING],
where SECTION is one of (tdp, voltage, temperature). Provide JSON JSON-STRING argument to set the SECTION value, or omit it to read (as a JSON string).
The JSON-STRING is applied as a delta to the output of the command, which can be obtained using
sudo throttlestop SECTION
