  Description     : daemon for frequency and voltage control of AMD K8 CPUs with undervolting/overvolting capability

 cpupowerd can be used with AMD K8 processors to adjust the CPU frequency 
 and voltage dynamically.
 It can be run as a daemon that dynamically adjusts the processor state
 according to load.
 .
 It's capabilities include overvolting as well as undervolting. This means
 you can use it to run your processor at a voltage lower than what it is
 supposed to run at according to it's specifications and make it run cooler
 and with lower power consumption. WARNING: Doing this could cause damage to
 your hardware so only do it if you know what you're doing and are willing to
 accept the risk.
 . 
 Currently it supports only AMD K8 processors like Athlon, Athlon64 (X2), 
 Sempron, Opteron, Turion...
