Intel TurboBoost

PreviousKali KEXNextPentest_Copilot

Last updated 3 months ago

During these scorching conditions, many of our laptops are struggling, especially if you have an Intel laptop with Turbo Boost enabled. I have found that disabling Turbo Boost significantly reduces the strain on the laptop. Although this may slightly decrease performance, it can lower the temperature by at least 10 degrees Celsius.

The method I use involves undervolting the processor, but instead of adjusting the voltage itself, it limits the Turbo Boost. Here’s the best way I have found, which I have been using since I bought my laptop three years ago:

  1. Download ThrottleStop from the following link: TechPowerUp ThrottleStop.

  2. Open ThrottleStop and select "TPL". Uncheck "Disable Controls". You will see three fields on the right. Do not change the last one. The first two are PL1 and PL2. Most laptops are stable at 25, but after testing, I found my Ideapad 3 performs better at 20. Start at 25 and stress test the CPU. If it’s stable, try lowering it to 20. If it’s not stable, revert to 25.

  3. If you prefer to disable Turbo Boost entirely, you can check the corresponding box on the main ThrottleStop screen.

  4. Don’t forget to go to "Options" and enable "Start Minimized" for ThrottleStop.

Using this method, you can manage your laptop's temperature more effectively without significantly compromising performance.
