I am trying to make the CPU transition to a lower P-state. I used pwrtest to determine the tests, and now I want to set the processor frequency to 50%.
I executed the following command:
powercfg -setacvalueindex SCHEME_BALANCED SUB_PROCESSOR PROCTHROTTLEMAX 50
When i query the scheme, the value is set to the desired value. However, the processor frequency is not modified (I am using CPU-Z to check the frequency).
My system is running Windows 2008 R2.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I figured it out. You have to call
powercfg.exe -setactive SCHEME_CURRENT
to apply the changes
