    I dont know why dynamic cpu speed is not enabled. I first thought something was wrong when I tried to use Granola, but it said DVFS, which allows for dynamic cpu speed, is not enabled. Now i find out that turbo boost is always active, so I know something is definitely wrong. This could explain the high discharge rate battery bar is showing even at idle ~0-5% cpu usage.


    Can anyone help me with this problem? Anyone else have these problems?


    Thanks
