Power governor in Linux plays the same role as power plan in Windows.
It's used to control power frequency, heat emmision, battery usage.
First, install cpufrequtils
sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils
Check the list of available governors
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
Using your favorite editor create or edit following file (as superuser)
/etc/default/cpufrequtils
Update or add following line
GOVERNOR="conservative"
Reboot system
sudo reboot
Check enabled governor
sudo cpufreq-info | grep T
Common governors
Performance - highest cpu frequency, short battery, more heat
Powersave - lowest cpu frequency, save battery, less heat
Ondemand - will act as performace during high cpu usage and as powersave otherwise.
Conservative - similar to ondemand, but changes are fluent.
Done.
