Hello,
Yes i set fixed frequency to 1200.
For power consumption, i my case off use it's not a problem because i start when use it and stop helios64 when i don't use.
My big problem isn't unstability during long time but during intense use.
For example: 400Mhz - 1400mhz is okok if helios do nothing... but when fast i/O network or Disk I/O, Helios64 crash or freeze.
With 5.1X Kernel, Helios is stable at 400-1400MHZ Schedutil
With first 6.X Kernel, Helios is stable at 400-14000MHZ Schedutil
With 6.6 Kernel and upper my pattern to test stabilty crash when i use setting above and not crash with 1200 Fixed frequency.
At 1400 or more with my pattern to test Helios crash.
My configuration is:
8To x 4 Raid 10 -> LVM -> Lucks -> LVM -> BTRFS.
To test stabilty i do:
- Scrubbing RAID and at same time i do a BTRFS with Checksum check, that do a lot of I/O and Frequency change...
Since i pass to Kernel 6.6.X, this pattern to test fail always.
With 5.1X Kernel 400-1400MHZ Schedutil and 6.X Kernel 400-14000MHZ Schedutil and at 1200 Fixed, always pass and always crash at 400-1200MHZ.
I advise you if you want stable online setting to Keep a 5.1X Kernel with 400-1400MHz.
That not my choice because i prefer to follow most update Kernel and i believe (or dreaming) adevelloper find problem with Helios RockChip and correct it one day.
