Hello,

I tried this, but then the max speed bin is only 3.2GHz instead of 3.6GHz,
it does solve the problem but limits the CPU quite a bit, see below:

CPU GHz TSC %c0 %c1 %c3 %c6 %pc3 %pc6 %pc7
0 3.20 2.93 0.33 99.67 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
1 3.20 2.93 0.09 99.91 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
2 3.20 2.93 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
3 3.20 2.93 0.95 99.05 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
4 3.20 2.93 0.08 99.92 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
5 3.20 2.93 0.02 99.98 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
6 3.20 2.93 0.06 99.94 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
7 3.20 2.93 0.01 99.99 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

It would be nice if it were possible to find out what is causing it exactly
in the acpi cpufreq module, as this problem does not occur in Windows 7 and
I can achieve 3.6GHz in Windows 7 w/out any high pitch noise.

Justin.
