Hi
I have recently looked a lot into FreeBSD power management. The reason was that my processor (i7-8700) became quite hot when compiling ports. So the first thing I did was to renew the CPU paste on the CPU. And did help quite a bit. Right now I am frustrated because it is really try and error to get things going. One of the big problems is that the documentation is quite old, and that there are so many small tools that need to work together. I have tried different combinations of powerd, C-states, Intel Speed shift, Bios settings and powerdxx.
And Intel Speed shift seems to cause a lot of trouble (and more heat). Right now I am using default bios settings, and powerdxx. Below are my loader.conf, rc.conf and sysctl.conf.
Coments and sugestions most welcome
