# Cpufreq

Default governor is _ondemand_ for older CPUs and kernels and _schedutil_ for new CPUs and kernels.

## TL;DR

```sh
# Install.
sudo dnf install kernel-tools

# List the available governors.
cpupower frequency-info --governors

# Get the current active governor.
cpupower frequency-info --policy

# Set a new governor until reboot.
sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance
sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor powersave
sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor schedutil
```
