Hi Mihrutkin,
well, this expaination will be a little concise, however, it should work.

First of all you have to replace Ubuntu's standard kernel by a so called PHC kernel. Therefore, add the linux-phc testing PPA (https://launchpad.net/~linux-phc/+archive/testing) to your system and install an appropriate kernel.

As a second step, you have to download and build the linux-phc kernel module. If you are using an Intel CPU download this Package http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=267, generate a Debian Package with make dkms_mkdeb and install it.

As a last step you have to blacklisting both modules acpi_cpufreq and cpufreq_stats and additionally putt phc-intel to /etc/modules which loads this module on startup. To put these changes in place run update-initramfs -u.

Now restart you system and the linux-phc module should be loaded on startup.

To change core voltage, override /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpufreq/phc_controls with appropriate values.

If you have further questions please read READMY.1st in the first place!

Best, Stefan

Just a little note to this: (see also http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopi ... 7&start=10)

As a last step you have to blacklisting both modules acpi_cpufreq and cpufreq_stats and additionally putt phc-intel to /etc/modules which loads this module on startup. To put these changes in place run update-initramfs -u

Instead I would recommend to create a empty file /etc/modprobe.d/phc-intel.conf and after this install (or reinstall) the debian package. It makes life much simpler. If it doesn't work, drop a note.
