PowerTools

Steam Deck power tweaks for power users.

This is generated from the template plugin for the SteamOS Plugin Loader.

Cool, whatever

Yeah, that's fair. In case you still want some of the functionality, without the nice GUI, here's some equivalent commands. These should all be run as superuser, i.e. run sudo su and then run these commands in that.

Enable & Disable CPU threads

Enable: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{cpu_number}/online where {cpu_number} is a number from 1 to 7 (inclusive).

Disable: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{cpu_number}/online where {cpu_number} is a number from 1 to 7 (inclusive).

NOTE: You cannot enable or disable cpu0, hence why there are only 7 in the range for 8 cpu threads.

Enable & Disable CPU boost

Enable: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost enables boost across all threads.

Disable: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost disables boost across all threads.

Set CPU frequency

Use cpupower (usage: cpupower --help). This isn't strictly how PowerTools does it, but it's a multi-step process which can involve changing the CPU governor. All that can be done automatically by cpupower frequency-set --freq {frequency} where {frequency} is 1.7G, 2.4G or 2.8G.
