I do think its more automatic than not. You can set power profiles that have their own range but not a specific mhz number. It looks like others had a simple install of it, I’m currently on a desktop.

The doc page says you can set the power profile in the Configuring auto-cpufreq section:

Example config contents

# settings for when connected to a power source
[charger]
# see available governors by running: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
# preferred governor.
governor = performance

# turbo boost setting. possible values: always, auto, never
turbo = auto

# settings for when using battery power
[battery]
# see available governors by running: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
# preferred governor
governor = powersave

Not sure how to define configuration settings. I’m a Linux novice. Do I just copy and paste the whole configuration contents you posted and run it in terminal for it to give me the choices to pick from?

For example I'd want to set "when connected to power source" as powersave or whatever is the most energy efficient.

Turbo boost I want set to OFF

When on battery power I want the most efficient setting as well "powersave"?

How do I make these changes with the configuration using terminal?
