There's a little inconvenience with the hardware monitoring system, likely related to either the sensors / libsensors4 packages or ksysguard itself; I have an Intel Core i7 CPU, which by default runs at 2.66 Ghz. I got it overclocked up to 3.15 Ghz from BIOS, and the frequency displays there as well as the increased performance / temperature confirm the overclock is working as expected. However, the frequency sensor in openSUSE (cpu/system/AverageClock) never shows more than 2661 Mhz. It appears to not consider the possibility of overclocking, and limits the display to the clock the CPU comes with, assuming that's the maximum frequency it can reach.

Is there any way to correct this, so that ksysguard displays the real frequency my CPU reaches when under load? I prefer seeing it when overclocking, so I know everything works as expected at all time. Thanks.

Hi:

Try installing "lm_sensors" it's provides tools and drivers for monitoring temperatures, voltage, and fans.

Another application for CPU Frequency Scaling is "thermald" that might be of some use.

Aside from that; look in your mobo book. There may be a way to make an adjustment/setting in the BIOS to keep an eye on the frequencies of the CPU.

If you don't have the mobo book you should be able to find it in PDF form online-
