I have an 8th gen (i5-8400) processor installed in motherboard using the H370
chipset (Gigabyte H370 HD3) with factory default BIOS configuration running
FreeBSD 11.2 amd64. Although the correct number of cores (6) and available
frequencies are correctly detected only the lowest frequency is usable:
# sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2801/65000 2800/65000 2700/61690 2500/55888 2400/52759
2200/47301 2100/44946 1900/39204 1800/37000 1700/34277 1500/29546 1400/27531
1200/22557 1100/20688 900/16549 800/14296
# sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=2800
dev.cpu.0.freq: 800 -> 800
Accordingly powerd continues to try and raise the frequency in response to high
system load but is unable to do so. If I disable 5 of the 6 cores in the BIOS
then setting frequency as above is successful.
Has this been reproduced and/or what are the next steps I should take to
investigate?
Attached is the obligatory dmesg which contains some complaints about ACPI
firmware of unknown relevance?
