RB4011iGS+RM limited download speed because of CPU speed

Sun Mar 17, 2024 1:38 am

Hello,

Have a RB4011iGS+RM with CPU speed set to auto. Running 7.14.
While set to Auto, CPU speed seems to reach a max of 1400 Mhz and a download speed via https of 50-60 MB/s from a server with direct peering.
CPU temperature is around 33 Celsius. Fasttrack is enabled.
If I set the CPU speed manually at 1900 Mhz, the same download now reaches a steady 100-110 MB/s.
Set the CPU speed back to Auto and the speed drops to 50-60MB/s again.
This model should do 1900Mhz under load according to Mikrotik: CPU nominal frequency auto (533 - 1900) MHz
Anyone else with RB4011iGS+RM observing this?
 
whatever

That's interesting. I think the RB4011 used to clock its CPU at a fixed 1400 MHz when running ROS 6 and old spec sheets still list it that way, e.g. https://www.getic.com/files/catalogue/m ... igs_rm.pdf
I wonder when Mikrotik decided to change the official specs to "auto (533 - 1900) MHz". Maybe they plan to raise the max auto frequency in a future update!?

I'm still on ROS 7.13.5 and CPU frequency scales between 533 MHz and 1400 MHz. However, in my case this is enough to get gigabit throughput.

However, in my case this is enough to get gigabit throughput.
By stating I only get 50-60 MB/s I meant with single threaded downloads from a https server with CPU set to Auto.
Speed tests and downloading a well seeded torrent like linuxmint for example are gigabit with CPU set to Auto.

I was wondering about that "auto (533 - 1900) MHz" also, because I was recalling 1400 max for RB4011, same as with RB1100AHx4.
