Comment 0 for bug 503540

Hi,
I have recently installed Kubuntu 9.10 on an overclocked Phenom II 940 computer.
The stock speed for this CPU is 3 GHz. I normally run with it overclocked it 3.6 GHz.

Unfortunately cpufreq does not seem to want to allow speeds above 3GHz even though it detects the max cpu speed as 3.6 GHz.
The available scaling frequencies appear to be correct but the scaling_max_freq is still pinned to the stock value.

Here is the output for cpu0, all of the other cores are the same. This is using the ondemand governor but all of the others seem to be the same.

medius@junglecat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq $ sudo grep 0 *

Please let me know if any other info is needed.
Thanks.
