Thanks for this link! I had already changed that file to fix the bad behavior of the fan (always shutting off for 5 seconds even when overheating). Seems like that file should be updated/replaced since the default version has both the fan bug and this CPU governor issue.
Up until now I’ve gotten into the habit of just always running your gearbox gui after powering on to set things the way I want them but it will be nice to not have to fight with the defaults anymore.
