Dell e6540 laptop. looking for a way to get some throttlestop oc features to linux?

[sebaskitty]

hello, good day.

my dell e6540 can be fully overclocked in windows using throttle stop

powercut and all that magic.

however, I'm running Linux. since that wastes the least amount of performance. and sadly there is no throttle stop or anything like it on linux.

is there a way to still enable/hack some features throttle stop has to apply in Linux?

for example. powercut? (which is probably the most helpful in my case)

if I remember right a lot of the things throttlestop does are (direct?) calls to hardware so not really system depending?

my system has a dead GPU so the CPU has a lot of thermal headroom to work with (especially since I got a modded heatsink)

any ideas? thank you a lot in advance for your tips and advice!

maybe a custom bios would do the trick? So that it will work in any os, because the os environment will simply interpret it as default (as set in the bios).

I needed this as well. I just published a script that lets you set PL1/PL2 under Linux:
