zenpower VS kernel_compiler_patch

had same issue as well, had to install zenpower

Not sure if it works the same on a Steam Deck, but for desktop Linux, I use zenpower - https://github.com/ocerman/zenpower

Put in a bug/feature request on zenpower

From what i could gather the default k10temp might not see power draw. Arch wiki recommends installing zenpower, here is link with instructions for Ubuntu. CPU frequency I have no idea, it should work OOTB.

Lastly, I found this thing called zenpower. Installed the module, and loaded it, but lm_sensors just does not seem to even see it...

That said, there is Zenpower and Ryzen_SMU, but they're one-man-band projects, and I don't think they have any official help from AMD.

You can get more sensors that are exposed via the SMU (like SVI2 TFN) via zenpower and ryzen_smu.

Claims on this are all over the place, tbh. I don't know what to believe. But check out: https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_compiler_patch

This guy also provides benchmarks for native vs generic kernels.

You can build your own custom kernel with -O3, 1000Hz timer and -march=native https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_compiler_patch for both better performance and responsiveness (and maybe features, if you tweak using menuconfig further). Most other custom kernels, e.g. Zen, tend to break compatibility with other stuff, so don't be surprised if your machine doesn't boot or the Nvidia driver doesn't compile
