Release 22.03.5 X86_64
OpenWrt launched on Proxmox, after turning on OWRT, a terrible high-frequency coil whine starts.
Unsuccessfully tried to set the power saving mode:
Cpufreq is missing in the release.
Intel_pstate also cannot be configured (many attempts and installations including 22.03.5_RC2, all found instructions point to missing folders).
I will be grateful for any help.
Thank you!
Welcome to the community!
Do you mean a: physical [coil whine] noise, something through the sound card, something else?
To be clear, you stated in your first post that OpenWrt is a Virtual Machine, correct?
If a VM, feel free to include more details in order to assist you.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Coil whine is a physical effect of an induction coil, most likely a processor.
In Windows or Ubuntu 22 is quiet, so it's a processor power management issue in the kernel.
Proxmox 8.03 (kernel 6.2.16-3-pve) was noisy, but after changing the pstate to cpufreq + powersave, it became almost silent.
OpenWrt works on Proxmox 8.03, unfortunately changing the processor type setting was not successful.
The perfect solution for me to get back on cpufreq + powersave governor, but pstate is also suitable, the main thing is to reduce the load on coils.
Thank you!!
So that would be a yes - your OpenWrt is Virtual, correct?
Or are you running OpenWrt on bare metal?
Yes, OpenWRT runs in the Proxmox virtual machine

No one knows how to return сpufreq or set up pstate? (
TBH, I donno how (or rathar, don't understand why) to use a virtual machine setting to change a physical property.
I'm trying to replicate the issue here. Honestly, I would try throttling the vCPU by percentage or look at host settings; but your inquiry/request is quite different.
Thanks for the answer.
Tried different host settings, it didn't work. It seems that OWRT raises the frequency of the processor or forces it to hold a higher voltage.
Let's assume that OpenWRT is running on bare metal, how can I control the processor frequency?
Thank you!
