**#** **To monitor CPU speed in real time, run **
$ watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo

== Thermald ==
**# Will help keep your system at a accepted temperature**
$ yaourt -S thermald

== i7z ==
**# Reporting tool for Intel processors**
$ pacman -S i7z

**# Invoke with **
$ i7z
$ i7z-gui	

== CpuPower ==
**# Assists with CPU frequency scaling** 
$ pacman -S cpupower

**# You can load a specific governor at boot-time by defining it in **///etc/default/cpupower//
**# Ex;**
{{{code: lang="texinfo" linenumbers="True"
governor='performance'
}}}


**#** **Enable the service**
$ systemctl enable cpupower.service

**# There are a couple of different Governors, which will have impact on the systems performance**
**# These seems to be the most common Governor settings;**
	**# **//performance //**= Run the CPU at maximum frequency **
	**# **//powersave //**= Run the CPU at minimum frequency **
	**# **//ondemand//** = Scales the frequency dynamically according to the current load**

**# To activate a particular Governor, ex **//performance//
$ cpupower frequency-set -g performance
