A while ago we talked about what thermal throttling is and how it affects our computer components. Many laptops come standard coated and even with good processor temperatures this phenomenon is created. Why? How can we make it go away? Today we will help you solve it!

It may also happen that some laptop manufacturers automatically brake the CPU if it is not detected that the original power adapter of the computer is connected, as a measure to protect the computer from possible damage. You may notice a drop in performance when that happens. One solution is to buy a power adapter from the manufacturer as it will solve the problem immediately, and another is to use software like Throttlestop to overcome the limitation.

What is Throttlestop and how does it work?

Throttlestop is a free program created by TechPowerUp for Microsoft Windows devices, all 32 and 64 bit versions are compatible, which you can use to avoid CPU limitation. The program was not specifically created to deal with CPU acceleration by any particular manufacturer, so it should suit everyone. Throttlestop is provided as a zip file that you need to extract to the local system. It is not necessary to install the program and it can be run directly from the folder where it was extracted. The program requires administrator permissions to function.

Throttlestop's initial goal was to undo the regulatory schemes used by manufacturers, but the functionality was increased over time to include new features such as overclocking options. The app supports up to four profiles that you can switch between. The configuration area in the interface can be used to disable certain types of regulation. Clock modulation and chipset modulation indicate whether the manufacturer is using these options to throttle the processor. If you see values ​​below 100%, you have evidence that regulation is underway.

The developer suggests that logging be enabled by checking the "log file" option. Then, you can run a benchmark by clicking TS Bench, and analyze the log file to see if a regulation is occurring. Check the CKMOD and CHIPM columns to find out if they fall below the 100% mark.

Developers can use other regulatory techniques. There is a BD PROCHOT (hot bi-directional processor) that some manufacturers use to speed up the CPU. Designed to prevent CPU overheating, it is used in some notebooks that use third-party power adapters or unrecognized power adapters to automatically slow down the CPU . Throttlestop only makes changes in the current session. When you restart your PC, you must start Throttlestop again to apply the settings for the current session. You can add the program to Task Scheduler so that it runs automatically at startup of the operating system.

Throttlestop is a powerful program to prevent manufacturers from slowing down CPUs by using non-OEM power adapters. Although that is one of the main purposes. We thank our IGB compi for the screenshots and for advising us of this practical tool. Has it served you?
