Quick SetCPU question.

[LivingChampion]

Flashed Faux123's Kernel acouple days ago and have a question.
Does this Application need to be running for the voltage changes to work? What about for the profiles set?

Thanks.

i don't know the answer because i haven't flashed a kernel. the quickest and best answer is to try yourself. setcpu is in the market.

I know, but it's hard to tell and I really don't want to undervolt too much more because I don't wanna see a crash, although I have yet to experience one. I have it set at
Respectively:
-100
-100
-50
-75
-300
-300
-300
Seems stable with and without SetCPU on while spamming Quadrant standard benches and I cannot tell if the voltages are working or not. Those extra volts being taken away can greatly help my battery life, but if it's not working without the program on there is literally no way to tell. I use Advanced Task Manager a lot and it takes out SetCPU all the time.

Maybe someone with more experience of the program can help me out.

why do people undervolt it? Why wouldn't Faux undervolt when he created it? I don't touch the voltages, but not sure how you test if undervolting would hurt performance.

There is a bunch of responses to undervolting in faux's kernel thread in the dev forum. But long story short u can't have more than 100 m's between jumps when setting your undervolting, or it simply wont apply it. Example.
75

75
75
125
200
225

Really? I'll adjust my settings. Can you show me where it says that -100 jumps won't be applicable?

Probably going to adjust it to
100
100
75
75
175
275
300

edit: It's stable after around 10 Quadrant runs. I'd still like where you found that information though.

Thanks

Well, I've been overclocking computers for years and something I've learned is that the lower your voltage is, the less degraded the processor will be after awhile. Such as, if you overclock the voltage too high, overtime you would need more voltage to obtain the same speed. Same thing applies when overclocking graphics cards.

Edit: Anyways, why are people dodging the main question

no you shouldnt have to keep setCPU running. i believe the app is just changing some sysfs files, so its one and done till the next time you open and change more values.

Bro, this setting is left 770-470 = 300 or 770 - 300 = 470mv ?
