The Python-based software, Cpuspeedy, is a straightforward tool that lets users modify their CPU's voltage and clock speed.
Cpuspeedy is a fantastic tool for those looking to tweak the performance of their CPUs on Linux systems. Written in Python, this program allows you to adjust both clock speed and voltage with ease, thanks to its use of Linux's CPUFreq driver.
For those who prefer a graphical interface, a frontend written in C using GTK+-2 libs is also available. This makes it easy to tweak your CPU's performance settings, regardless of your experience level.
Installing Cpuspeedy on your Linux system is a breeze. Simply become the superuser and type "make install". By default, the tool will be installed with the '/usr/local' prefix. However, if you want to change this, you can pass the PREFIX to make. For example, "make PREFIX=/usr install".
In the latest release of Cpuspeedy, some important changes have been made. Specifically, pythermalzone.py now checks for every directory in the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ directory. If the temperature file is found, its value is read. This should fix a bug that previously prevented cpuspeedy from getting the CPU's temperature on systems where the path to the temperature file is not /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM.
All in all, Cpuspeedy is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that Linux users will love. Whether you're a seasoned expert or a newbie to CPU tweaking, this program will help you get the most out of your hardware.
