 +NOTE: If you are using intel pstates (most likely you are on intel CPU) the only control you have is setting performance or powersave. As intel controls the frequency between their values there isnt a lot you can do without disabling intel pstates. This is not recommended and you will suffer in terms of performance.
 +While playing games use performance, for everything else use powersave if this is the situation.
 +
 +You can use "sudo cpupower frequency-info" to check if you are running performance or powersave and change appropriately like "cpupower frequency-set --governor performance"
