Dunno if this helps.

My cpu is an Intel I7-2670QM.

The related files, you might need to check are:

--------------------

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq.conf 

As far as I remember I chaned nothing here in the past.

--------------------

Second one is:
 /etc/modules

in here I set the following entries:

powernow-k8
cpufreq_powersave
cpufreq_ondemand
cpufreq_userspace

--------------------

Third one, which might be related:
/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

In here are alsoi the three entries as above:

powernow-k8
cpufreq_powersave
cpufreq_ondemand
cpufreq_userspace

--------------------

I think, the powernow-k8 entry is no more needed, and is a relic from old times.

Additionally check 

/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf

Although you might run a desktop computer, the package laptop-mode might be helpfull.


--------------------
Hope this helps.

Best 

Hans
