# py3status-cpu-governor

Python module for py3status to show the cpu_governor state in i3

[![Downloads](https://static.pepy.tech/personalized-badge/py3status-cpu-governor?period=total&units=international_system&left_color=blue&right_color=green&left_text=Downloads)](https://pepy.tech/project/py3status-cpu-governor)

This is handy if you manage your governor manually with something like or use [gamemode](https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode)

``` bash

alias performance_mode='echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor'

alias powersave_mode='echo powersave | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor'

alias schedutil_mode='echo schedutil | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor'

alias cpu_frequency_watch='watch -n.5 "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"^[c]pu MHz\""'

```
