+</syntaxHighlight>Alternatively, if you have [[Flakes]] enabled you can also use the flake directly provided by the auto-cpufreq authors to get a more up-to-date version.  They offer a detailed explanation how to add it to your system on their [https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq?tab=readme-ov-file#nixos GitHub page].
+To summarize: 1) add the flake as an input to your <code>flake.nix</code> file and enable the module:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
+# flake.nix
+{
+    inputs = {
+        # ---Snip---
+        auto-cpufreq = {
+            url = "github:AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq";
+            inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
+        };
+        # ---Snip---
+    }
+    outputs = inputs@{nixpkgs, auto-cpufreq, ...} : {
+        nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
+            specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
+            modules = [
+                ./configuration.nix
+                auto-cpufreq.nixosModules.default
+            ];
+        };
+    }
+}
+</syntaxhighlight>2) Then enable it in your <code>configuration.nix</code> file:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
+# configuration.nix
+{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
+    # ---Snip---
+    programs.auto-cpufreq.enable = true;
+    # optionally, you can configure your auto-cpufreq settings, if you have any
+    programs.auto-cpufreq.settings = {
+      charger = {
+        governor = "performance";
+        turbo = "auto";
+      };
+      battery = {
+        governor = "powersave";
+        turbo = "auto";
+      };
+    };
+    # ---Snip---
+}
+</syntaxhighlight>Since v2.0 auto-cpufreq also includes a GUI that lets you temporarily override the CPU frequency governor setting.
