Title: ThrottleStop - to avoid your laptop cpu throttling
Post by: Koden on Monday, February 20, 2012, 16:08:15 PM

So, been using this little tool for months and thought many other people might find it useful. It has been around since when Intel started making use of throttling in his laptop cpu.

You surely have times when you don't need no cpu power at all, or vice versa you want all the pure power without hassles and interruption: this tool does it for you, stopping the continous dynamic adjustment typical of latest Intel cpu's. This usually helps avoid sudden hitching of all those apps that use 1 core only (who said AA?).
 
Of course a continous use of your cpu at full speed will make temperature rise, if your laptop cooling system is inadequate as it often happens for cheap laptops and low end systems. Therefore, try to understand that it is a risk you're  taking on your own (laptop). In every case, i would suggest you to use Speedfan -> http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

i remember there was another program like this which i used to use when 2.5 was still alive - before everyone went to 2.8. I can't remember the name though.

I use CrystalCPUID to undervolt my laptop so I get more battery life and less heat.

I have only used it on single-core AMD and a Intel Core Duo.

Just popping in here to say I've been using RightMark CPU Clock to lower voltages on my laptop and restrict some multipliers depending on whether my laptop is running on battery or AC. I think some of you might find it helpful. http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
