I want my lowest frequency to try to be 1.2GHz instead of 1.7Ghz so I can save energy. My CPU can be stable at 3.6Ghz but sometimes can go up to 4.7Ghz depending on the task
#How to set a lower CPU frequency when idle?

I honestly don't remember how I did it, cd into /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq and try to cat and then echo some values into files like scaling_max_freq, scaling_min_freq

just experiment. It's only one core so you really can't break it
maybe use like cpu2 just in case

you might wanna take a look at the wiki for this
you can manage CPU power profiles manually or through tools that interface with the governor
if you're worried about power consumption, temps, etc. you might also wanna undervolt it

I have already looked and use active cooling, tweaked my bios, and more, I don't want to tweak my CPU's max performance, only the minimum
It's like that period of time right before the pc sleeps
