How to use clr-power-tweaks?

Q&A

I’m trying to get my laptop to set the P-state minimum performance to 0% instead of the default 50%. I also want to use the “power” CPU energy preference along with CPU energy bias.

I’ve already created /etc/clr-power-tweaks.conf, but Clear Linux documentation doesn’t really provide more details than that. What exactly do I input into the .conf file to achieve this and persist after reboot?

/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/power/energy_perf_bias power

How did you figure it out?

I used the command sudo clr_power --debug to figure out what parameters the system was already using.

I then implemented the parameters that I wanted in the clr-power-tweaks.conf file. Clear Linux documentation shows you how to do this here:
