## Troubleshooting
**Q:** If after installing auto-cpufreq you're (still) experiencing:
* high CPU temperatures
* CPU is not scaling to minimum/maximum frequencies
* suboptimal CPU peformance
**A:** If you're using `intel_pstate` CPU management driver consider changing it to: `acpi-cpufreq`.
This can be done by editting `/etc/default/grub` file and appending `intel_pstate=disable` to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` line, followed by `sudo update-grub`
Example line change:
```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_pstate=disable"
```
