Kernel CPU frequency issue

[Latiken]

I really need to stop making so many threads.

Anyways, my latest issue is actually with baybutcher's custom kernel built into RR.

I have my CPU settings set to the performance governor, 2496MHz for the max frequency, and 1036MHz for the minimum frequency.

I noticed, however, that in certain apps (mostly Tumblr) I get a lot of visual lag, and when I check my kernel settings, the maximum CPU frequency is adjusting itself, jumping around all the different frequency speeds. If I attempt to set the frequency, it ignores it and continues adjusting. I have to adjust another setting to get it to stay at the frequency I set it at.

Is this normal or is there something I can do to solve it?

Try setting the thermal limits just a little higher, in Kernel Aduitor. Try 70 degrees instead of the default 60, 65 (or whatever the default is, I forget). With one of the thermal controls, especially Intellithermal -- maybe one you are on? -- it gets very aggressive and actually starts throttling 10 degrees sooner than the limit. So, by raising the limit a little it won't throttle the frequencies too soon.

I not only raised the limit to 70 degrees (that's Celsius by the way), I also switched to one of the other thermal controls.

I'm not sure where I change that. Under the Thermal tab, all I get are options to toggle Core Control, VDD Restriction, and Temperature Throttle.

Once you turn one of those on , and set on boot you should see temperature slider in that same section.

It doesn't seem to be there, not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

I also noticed that it will bring the maximum CPU frequency down to match the minimum frequency, and they will both lock so I can't change it. It's getting really annoying, especially when it happens when I need it most, like while typing and watching videos at the same time.
