I found some tools in Linux for handy speed

such as a neat 'indicator-cpufreq' taskbar icon where
you can adjust the throttling mechanisms.
You get 'performance' 'on demand' 'power save' modes etc.
as well as a dozen or so specific CPU frequencies to choose from.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.
No matter what I choose doesn't seem to affect anything.
I have found that too, I use cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info instead.
When using command line, why using a tool at all?
It's also possible to make launchers, when using the following direct
access.
The wildcard /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* might be required on some
machines. I don't know. My scripts use a wildcard, while it's not
necessary on my machine.

Thanks!
I entered the commands and made sure it was on performance,
but no luck. Same terrible noise.
I know it does help with some of the pops and clicks though.
Just not the digital noise.
I'll see how the new replacement MB works out.
Hopefully it will remain stable. It worked fine in the shop...
