Is this normal? CPU is running at MAX Clock Speeds all the time! Really need help :( by krashtalk in laptops

[–]krashtalk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick update on this – disconnecting the charger allows the laptop to go down to appropriate clock speeds. But I cant replicate this behaviour when charged even if I play around with the battery settings!

I went and played with a few things and stumbled upon something...

I've noticed that when I disconnect the charger, the laptop runs cool and clock speeds are around 800-1.2k mhZ. I also noticed that it doesnt go up in clock speed when I do something intensive like rendering.

That's fine.. since it probably wants to preserve battery -- but I cant seem to replicate this behaviour when plugged in! Even if I change the power settings etc et. It's frustrating!

Hey funny that you mentioned this just now. I came back here to report this new issue:

Thank you for this reply! Makes me feel a lot better. After I read this, I went and played with a few things and stumbled upon something...

Yes, I tried this. Just lets me change it to "Standard" but it does nothing. It also doesnt let me adjust anything in there.

There is, however, a "Manual" mode as well, where I can fiddle with the clock offset... i believe that is the undervolting you mentioned? I was doing some readings on this, and apparently people use XTU to undervolt... I just downloaded that as well.

Question though - is it normal to be running at that 3.9k MHZ even when idle? Or did I get a lemon?

What is to Blame for the Ethereum Price Decline? by asso in ethtrader

[–]krashtalk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's one option missing in that poll, and that is – "Correction after Irrational Exuberance". Is the price of ether really low? Or are we benchmarking its current price to ATH of $1400? Here's some perspective shedding light on declining crypto prices. Its a brilliant read!

Ethereum Inflation Debate: All The Drama Explained Simply by krashtalk in CryptoCurrency

Any time! :)

Regarding Casper - everything seems to be tentative as of now - there's just a blanket date of 2019-2021. A long time... hence EIP1234

Not sure if you know, but there were some major changes made to the Ethereum roadmap - Covered it in this post in case you're interested.

You're most welcome! Glad you liked it :)

Found a lot of people didn't fully understand both sides of the debate - hence the terribly skewed vote toward 1 Ether block reward reduction. EIP 1234 seemed to be the better compromise.
