Hi,
I have HP think client T620 with AMD CPU working top at around 1.7G hz.
But after I flased with 03-12-2021-r45993/x86_64/
Public vga and webflash.
Works fine.
But I find in system info,I found out the CPU clock shows only 800Mhz.
Is it normal?
Also I tried to install Astrill Applet,but showing Astrill VPN binary...failed,(routerPRo),only OpenVPN binary will be used in it's telnet window.In it's applet GUI,showing 'you need to buy roterPro addon'.
But don't need to buy at all,RouterPRo works in a slow netgear MIPS router without problems,only too slow.
Ask the official support,giving me the link of that old dd-wrt supported models and simply saying my router is not supported.
Is it the limitation of free DD-wrt_x86_64 or Astrill didn't compile the routerPRO for X86_64? would dd-wrt_86 have some luck?
The cpu will ramp up to max speed when there is a huge CPU load on it.
I am running a Q9550 with a Dell Studio 540 board. The speedstep is enabled which does the same as AMD's cool and quiet. Which will use a lower clock speed where there isn't a huge workload on it.
The Q9550 runs at 2GHz 95% of the time and will ramp up to 2,300 and then 2.83GHz if pushed hard.
Your AMD will do the same thing if you use the NAS function and put an actual load on the CPU.
As for the Astrill that one is out of my scope for adding features for VPN on the routers.

See my cpu slowest stock speed is 2GHz per core. This is the Intel speedstep enabled. When something puts a demand on it it will ramp up to 2.30Ghz then 2.83GHz which it is max speed.
in my experience i turn off speedstep since it does introduce noticeable lag in daily use. also i use a one of those plug in wall meters that show less than half a watt difference when speed step is turned on vs off.
So more tasks are loaded,CPU clock do jump up as shown in the system tab,doesn't it?
It's not fixed,right?
Yes. One load you can do easy is enable Samba and setup a NAS drive on the system. Does not matter if its SATA or USB based storage. Then copy a large file to the drive over the network and the clock speed will ramp up. Once it is done it will slow itself back down.
