I am having an issue whereby when I first turn the computer on, ondemand is selected and the speed moves between 800 and 1.73 successfully. For no apparent reason, after 15mins it is throttled back to 800 and I cannot change it back. I tired manually editing the scaling_max_freq file to 1733000 but when I go back to view it it has changed to 800000 again! I thought it might be this issue: ## # Special Rules ## # CPU Too hot! [Rule] name=CPU Too Hot acpi_temperature=55-100 cpu_interval=50-100 profile=Performance Low [/Rule] So I changed it from 70-100 but on the last try the cpu did not reach 70 and it still throttled it back to 800. Any ideas what I can do solve this issue? I have tried everything on this post here and no luck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10430797#post10430797
