Server Information shows wrong speed processors
Hi,
I'm running a dedicated intel 1245 v2 server 4 cores 8 threads, that has a 3.4 normal frequency and 3.8 turbo boost frequency.
In WHM Server Information the maximum speed shown is alwaysa 3.4 and never more, even if the server is under heavy load.
I checked with the hosting company and they said that Turbo Boost is enabled in the Server BIOS and send me a check they did:
Dear Client,
As requested, we've checked the server settings and the turbo mode works properly:

root@rescue ~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz"

cpu MHz : 3800.031
cpu MHz : 3776.656

cpu MHz : 1680.609
cpu MHz : 3797.109
cpu MHz : 1670.914
cpu MHz : 2149.968

So I think there must be something related to WHM. So I forced a cPanel reinstall, but nothing changed. Is there anything I can do to solve this? Thank you

Hi, look this: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost]Intel Turbo Boost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Intel Turbo Boost - That enables the processor to run above its base operating frequency via dynamic control of the CPU's clock rate.[1] It is activated when the operating system requests the highest performance state of the processor. Processor performance states are defined by the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
This is not a due from cpanel, your processor is 3.4 GHz, you will use 3.8 GHz only when your OS request.0 -
Hello :) Yes, please review the link from the previous post regarding the processor. Also, I just want to add that it's often a better idea to address the issue before reinstalling your OS and cPanel. Thank you. 0 -
Thanks for the answers. I have 2 identical servers intel E3 1245 v2, one at Hetzner and the other at OVH, both with turbo enabled on BIOS. The first one NEVER shows turbo speed on WHM Server Information even if with i7z or other monitors (as the one in my first post) I can see that turbo is running. The server at OVH on the contrary shows always on WHM Server Information the correct turbo speed when turbo si running. 0 -
Do both servers have the same output when running "cat /proc/cpuinfo" from the command line? Thank you. 0 -

I stressed the cpu load at 8 and even more, but in cat /proc/cpuinfo and WHM Server Informations showed all 8 cores running at 3401 MHz, never much than this value.

The output you provided shows that each server has different information in the /proc/cpuinfo file, which is where cPanel obtains the data from. You will need to consult with your data center if you believe the information in /proc/cpuinfo is not valid. EX: [~]# grep "cpu MHz" /root/server-1 cpu MHz : 3401.000 cpu MHz : 3401.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cpu MHz : 1600.000 [~]# grep "cpu MHz" /root/server-2 cpu MHz : 3468.000 cpu MHz : 3672.000 cpu MHz : 3774.000 cpu MHz : 3094.000 cpu MHz : 1700.000 cpu MHz : 1632.000 cpu MHz : 2686.000 cpu MHz : 3672.000

Hi Michael, since the Bios Turbo is enabled, could be some other speed limitation that I can check it in some way? Thank you 0 -
It's likely a good idea to consult with your hosting provider or data center to have them determine why your output is different in the /proc/cpuinfo file. Thank you. 0 -
I will contact my data center, Thank you 0 -
Hi Mr-Georgia, my Hetzner server is an intel E3 1245 v2 - 3.4 /3.8 turbo with HT my cpu load is normally very low 0.40 / 0.80 7 cores normally have 1.6 speed and 1 has 3.4 speed. With these cpu load ( 0.40 / 0.80 ) is better to have all cores at 3.4? Thank you 0
