Hi,
I was wondering if it would be possible to lower the turbo boost multipliers in tablets/laptops with i5/i7 CPUs.
In particular, for the Surface Pro 3.
I don't actually have one (yet?) but I've heard it suffers from heat throttling issues.
I would imagine this can be alleviated by lowering the turbo multiplier so that it doesn't go too high above base?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Possible, impossible?
Software/BIOS customization?
Which tools/methods could work/grant access to relevant config?
I don't know anything about over/underclocking/volting, but hopefully someone here does.
I have an i7 laptop and disabling turbo boost makes it sit around 70C with fan on some middle speed (it's not too loud anyways). For me, this is 2.2 instead of 2.8GHz. But I notice that the i7 Surface 3 has a base of 1.7 and a turbo of 3.3, so disabling turbo would be a hilarious drop in performance (whereas decreasing the turbo to ~2.5 would be super awesome even for sustained use).
thanks
