especially if you regularly push your system with heavy workloads or overclocking. If your CPU gets too hot, it can throttle performance, generate excess noise, or even shut down to avoid permanent
BD Prochot:a safety feature that seriously throttles your CPU when things get too hot inside your laptop. Generally, throttling will kick in when your CPU reaches 100° C (212° F), but with this box ticked, the CPU will throttle even when your GPU gets too toasty. It’s a handy saf...
If you're experiencing stuttering, lag, crashes, or even crashes, there's a chance that your CPU is overheating. As a safety measure for overheating, many CPUs will throttle performance when the temperature reaches a certain point. This might be why you're not getting the best framerates or...
You will also need aCPU with a Kat the end of the name. The K-series suffix designates that the frequency multipliers on the unit aren’t locked and thus allow for overclocking. To learn more about Intel® processor names and designations,check out this breakdown of CPU names. You will...
Technically, Intel Coffee Lake CPUs won't throttle until around 95C-100°C, reducing clockspeed to reduce heat. This can negate any overclocking benefits, but more importantly, running a CPU at 90°C or more on a regular basis is just asking for trouble. We've burned out CPUs in the ...
Here are the most obvious causes for high CPU temperatures: Intensive simultaneous operations If you run a lot of high-intensity tasks at the same time, your CPU temps can spike and your computer can slow down. When critical temperatures are reached, the CPU might be forced to throttle itself...
Some power settings can throttle the speed of your CPU. Power issues are familiar to laptop users, but they can impact desktop systems too. Check your Power Options by clicking the start menu and typing “Edit Power Plan”. Once open, click “Power Options” in the address bar at the top...
On Intel machines, PL2 denotes the highest power target your CPU is capable of, though it can only boost this high for a maximum of 2 minutes. After that time period, it will ramp down to its PL1 value, which is the maximum power target it can sustain indefinitely. ...

Underclocking refers to lowering your processor's frequency. While this does usually result in lower temperatures and power draw, it doesn't actually do anything good for your computer's performance. As you lower the clock speed, your CPU will be forced to throttle its own performance and won...
