2 days ago The 200mhz freq is probably the actual minimum on these processors. You can check by connecting and disconnecting a power supply and watching the frequencies. The CPU will throttle for 3 seconds to the actual minimum frequency achievable

That's interesting then, because on Ubuntu the frequency generally drops only as low as 400MHz but it falls down to 200MHz only during the tests under load. On Windows the frequencies don't drop below 400MHz.

2 days ago Could also be a problem with the measurement tool. What does sudo turbostat -s Bzy_MHz -i 0.1 have to say? (you might need to be on kernel 6.8 for this)

1 day ago On kernel 6.8.0-44 sudo turbostat -s Bzy_MHz -i 0.1 shows that most of the cores drop to exactly 200MHz the moment I unplug the AC. Some cores fall even a bit below 200MHz for a fraction of a second. After a couple seconds the clocks come back to ~1000-2000MHz
Component
Dasharo firmware
Device
NovaCustom V54 14th Gen
Dasharo version
v0.9.1-rc5
Dasharo Tools Suite version
--
Test case ID
CPF004.005
Brief summary
The CPU frequency sometimes falls below the minimum frequency
How reproducible
5/60 of measurements
How to reproduce
Run CPF test suite or check the clocks manually
Expected behavior
Should be in the documented range of 300-4800 MHz
Actual behavior
Sometimes the clocks fall down to 200MHz
Screenshots
Additional context
The device was powered via the Wavlink docking station, using an USB-C cable. The CPF test without load passed without issues. In CPF004 we measure the frequencies under load. It seems from the logs that the load stays for only about 1 minute and then the frequencies fall down.
