that is my output its useful to solve the problem i want my CPU to be 2.00GHz or maybe 1.50GHz to reduce the heat I live in a hot area
how to do that ?
I have seen this link How to control CPU frequency but nothing that I can apply
I have searched a lot and I am tired now, my heavy useage temps is 80C to 85C sometime it went to 90C
I heave fixed this problem in windows very easily
thermald
andltp
packages installed with default settings. My laptop temps used to be like yours but now hover around 50c.sudo apt-get install thermald
