I am a new user running Lubuntu 64-bit alternate. My computer has an AMD C-60 CPU.

How to install AMD C-60 tweaking script for Linux?

  • It's just a script, you don't need to install anything. Just download the .sh file, make sure that it is executable and follow the usage instructions from the README. – pLumo Oct 11 '18 at 09:21

    Possible duplicate of How do I run .sh files? – pLumo Oct 11 '18 at 09:21
  • But it says it needs undervolt , under the requirements. – Wizzyman1 Oct 11 '18 at 09:26

    so your question is how to install undervolt ? Then, you should first read the README file that comes packaged with the undervolt.tar.gz, this describes how to install it. And if you have problems with that, you can ask ... – pLumo Oct 11 '18 at 09:32
  • @RoVo The answers in that duplicate link aren't sufficient to answer this question. It's an exact match of about 10% of my answer. That's a very low standard for defining an exact match. That link duplicates Step 9 in my answer and then the OP would have to guess about whatever is in Steps 1-8. – karel Oct 11 '18 at 10:32
  • I disagree. The question does not include how to install the dependencies, so the duplicate fits just fine. You could say that it implicitly include it, but then I'd ask OP what he tried and where he failed as I pointed out in my previous comment. Because the undervolt package includes a README and I don't think we need to duplicate READMEs with answers on askubuntu. – pLumo Oct 11 '18 at 10:43
  • Anyways, as you wrote a nice answer it might be worth leaving it open ;-) – pLumo Oct 11 '18 at 10:56

  1. Download undervolt from here.

  2. Extract the contents of undervolt-0.4.tgz with Archive Manager or change directories using cd to the directory containing undervolt-0.4.tgz and run the following command.

    tar xzf undervolt-0.4.tgz

  3. Open the terminal and change directories using cd to the undervolt-0.4 directory.

  4. Run the following commands to make undervolt:

    sudo apt install make
make

  5. Copy the file named undervolt into a bin or sbin directory.

    sudo cp undervolt /usr/local/sbin

  6. Information about undervolt usage is in the README.fr file.

  7. Download c60-tweak-master.zip from here and extract the contents of c60-tweak-master.zip. Change directories using cd to the directory containing c60-tweak-master.zip and run the following commands.

    sudo apt install unzip   
unzip c60-tweak-master.zip

  8. Change directories using cd to the c60-tweak-master directory.

  9. Execute the script in a terminal with sudo ./c60-tweak.sh and follow the on-screen instructions.

I was searching and trying a few ways, undervolt and c60-tweak-master aren't working under the current Ubuntu / xUbuntu LTS release 18.04 (in my case). The performance of this cpu without tweaking it is awful (fixed between 0.8 and 1 GHz), I'm running a nextcloud server on it.

So I found this one: https://github.com/johkra/amdmsrtweaker-lnx 1. Download the amdmsrt-amd64.zip for 64 bit 2. Make sure the needed kernel modules are loaded (just google to make it permanent after reboot): sudo modprobe msr sudo modprobe cpuid

  1. Unzip & run amdmsrt-amd64 as root.

  2. With this you can undervolt and overclock the cpu to its full potential, just like under windows with brazostweaker.

My stable settings with slight undervolt for the AMD C60 cpu are this (1.3GHz,1.3GHz,1GHz): home/amdmsrt-amd64 P0=13.3334@1.125 P1=13.3334@1.125 P2=10@1.1 P3=@1.0

The cpu load on the nextcloud "server" changed to the following with 5 parallel downloads: Without: ~4.0 With: ~1.25 +-0.25

Hope this helps some people because for me its pretty useful :-)
