• Secure Boot is not supported.
• Using this application with other laptops may potentially damage them. Proceed at your discretion.

• sudo is required in order to access the Super I/O EC registers and apply undervolt offsets

• First make sure to set the UNDERVOLT_PATH in main.py to the appropriate location of the undervolt package

  • If you installed without sudo you can find where undervolt is located by doing

    which undervolt
    

  • Next set COREOFFSET and CACHEOFFSET to the mV that you determined to be stable via throttlestop on windows

• From the command line you can run the main script as root:

sudo python main.py

You will need to update these 2 lines first to point to the correct program directory

• Set <path_to_PredatorSense> to the directory where you downloaded this project

Exec=sh -c "pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY sh -c 'cd <path_to_PredatorSense> && python3 main.py'"
Icon=<path_to_PredatorSense>/app_icon.ico

• Copy the file to the application directory

sudo cp predator-sense.desktop /usr/share/applications/

• Now launch via the application and on initialization it will prompt for the user password

• Ubuntu / Linux Mint:

sudo apt install python3-pip
pip install qtpy
pip install git+https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt.git
sudo apt-get install msr-tools

Packages:

• Python Qt5 -> PyQt5
• undervolt -> Undervolt by georgewhewell
• msr-tools -> msr-tools by intel
