Hello!
I just setup a new Proxmox server. I am running a Supermicro X11DPH-T motherboard with dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs. It is installed via UEFI and uses systemd instead of GRUB. I am trying to see if it's possible to change the CPU governor from the intel_cpufreq to intel_pstate. I have read some articles about passing GRUB attributes, but I'm not familiar enough either GRUB or systemd to know the best course to change it. The current governor uses "Ondemand" and I would like to change it to the intel_pstate "powersave" based on the performance demonstrated in this guide: https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux50-pstate-cpufreq/5
Any other power saving recommendations would also be great! Powertop was also run and the CPUs get down to C6, but anything else to try and save a couple of watts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
