Powersave governor as default Arch

Question

I try to change governor from "ondemand" to "powersave" like wiki says ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_Frequency_Scaling#Scaling_governors ), but everyway I want to change it, Arch always boot with "ondemand"

sudo cpupower frequency-set -g powersave

by the way this works

The cpupower.service unit provided with Archlinux reads its settings from /etc/default/cpupower.

Either uncomment the governor setting, or add a new line so that governor='powersave'.

Just add the command to /etc/rc.local, minus the 'sudo'.

initscripts are deprecated in Arch. A service file is the correct approach... – jasonwryan Aug 24 '13 at 23:06
