hey pplz

just wanted to know that if there is an app like "CrystalCPUID" for linux
to change cpu voltage and frequency on fly:huh: really miss this..

i m using ubuntu.... amd64 3000
 
Darky,
I think he is asking for something which can change stuff on the fly rather than just looking at the hardware. There is a utility called cpufrequtils on gutsy atleast, I think the same is on Feisty :-

Code: 
shirish@Mugglewille:~$ aptitude show cpufrequtils
Package: cpufrequtils
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 002-5
Priority: optional
Section: universe/utils
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>
Uncompressed Size: 209k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5), libcpufreq0, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, lsb-base (>= 3.0)
Description: utilities to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature
 This package contains two utilities for inspecting and setting the cpu frequency through both the sysfs and
 procfs CPUFreq kernel interfaces.

To throttle the CPU do the following :-

First install cpufrequtils

Code: 
sudo aptitude install cpufrequeutils

Now one can do it in many ways, two different ways are told in :-

as well as

Enjoy your throttling ;)

thanks man:hap2: for this....

But it dosent let me change the CPU Voltage...... :@

that what i wanted... u cant get what u want on linux...... just "alternatives"
 
actually there have been pretty good reports that you should be able to run those tools. Did you read the whole thing? You need to add the modules, restart the software & then you can do that. Did you try that?

Worse to worse case it doesn't happen. Do the next best thing, put up two bug-reports, one at launchpad.net and one upstream (the developers who actually made the product) . If its a genuine call, then either the next release or the one after that would resolve the situation. That is free software, open source my friend. Do something to resolve the issue rather than going to cpuid or something else which would always remain a closed-source app. I don't have CPU's which support throttling otherwise would have done the same. I usually do :)
