One of the most annoying things about dual and quad core computers is the inbuilt throttling. The throttle feature is designed to keep the core cool when it is being overworked – however this feature can be rather annoying as it can kick in during the most inopportune times causing the application you are using to run very very slow. On my laptop the throttling feature kicks in all the time and i am constantly turning the thing off which is just annoying. I have tried to disabling the throttling feature and even resorted to locking certain registry keys to try to stop it from kicking in and no matter what i try it seems to just spring back to life. Now the feature is there for a specific reason and as i said its to help cool the core down, but on my laptop it actually does the opposite and causes it to warm up more because it is actually trying to throttle as well as carry out the commands from the applications i am using – its a truly no win situation. Now i do know that after doing some research my laptop is a little unique when it comes to throttling problems and it is known that the problem causes an annoyance for many users. I have tried applying the latest bios updates in order to combat the problem without any luck. I have tried a few alternative programs to Rightmark CPU clock utility such as throttlestop which is designed to keep it cooler but then i run into unforeseen problems such as crashing. My core in general runs between 38’c to 66’c on average and turning off the throttle part actually does cool it down. I also under volt my laptop to encourage rapid cooling as well. I guess until a newer bios update can be sent out to either disable or cause the throttling to kick in at much higher temperatures then i guess i will have to live with it.
