When to Use Throttlestop?

Initially much simpler and more limited than Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU), ThrottleStop has grown in feature-set and stability over the years, and can be used for undervolting, “set-and-forget” temperature/clockspeed profiles, benchmarking, SST tweaking, and temperature monitoring.

When should you Undervolt a laptop?

The greater the undervolt, the cooler the CPU will run and the less power it will use. This can lead to temperature drops under full load of anywhere between 5-15C, meaning your computer will be able to operate faster for longer, all the while generating less heat. It's absolutely worth the effort.

What is ThrottleStop used for?

ThrottleStop, an original program by “UncleWebb”, started as a simple means to counteract some throttling mechanisms used in older laptops, check temperatures, and change CPU clock speeds.
