Hello,
I've been having issues with my CPU lately and I'm pretty sure these would go away if I could turn the darn Turboboost off. Let me explain.
I have an Acer 5750g laptop with a 2.20GHZ i7 (2670QM).
Whenever I use Ableton (music software) and I use some CPU hungry plugins, CPU load will be at around 40% (which is normal) but then comes a random point (could be after 2 or 40 mins) where it jumps to 110% and my computer gets all laggy and I have to reboot because it's unusable.
The fan has also been going a lot louder lately and turbo boost is ALWAYS on (the frequency is always at around 3ghz even if I'm doing nothing staring at my desktop background).
I cleaned up the laptop fan, I cleaned up the fans of my cooling pad and I even reinstalled windows (thought maybe some malware process was eating up my CPU). Still happening (although it happens after a longer amount of time now that all the fans are clean)
I'm pretty sure if I could block the Turboboost from kicking in I wouldn't have this issue as it seems to only happen once the computer has gotten pretty hot.
I tried limiting the maximum level of CPU to 99% in the power options but this hasn't stopped turboboost from kicking in.
So I would like to know if there is a DEFINITIVE way to prevent turboboost on a laptop?
Thanks !
