Laptop running hot? Here’s how to lower CPU power to keep it cool

If your laptop is overheating, you’ll want to address the heat problem. There are a few things you can do to control the temperature, but one effective method is by dialing down the CPU’s maximum power.

You can reduce the heat produced by lowering your CPU’s maximum power to 75 percent. This works because your laptop’s processor produces less heat when it runs a bit slower. To do that, follow these steps.


What to do:

・In Search type Control Panel, then open the control panel.

・Click on Power Options then click Change plan settings.

・In the next window click on Change advanced power settings.

・Expand Processor power management and then Maximum processor state.

・Change the values next to Plugged in and On battery to 75 percent.

You also may want to switch from “Best performance mode” to “Balanced mode” for the power mode in the power and battery system settings.

  • I suspected my husband of cheating on me, and I reached Henryclarkethicalhacker at gmail com , and he helped me discover the truth. I could monitor his phone remotely without touching it, making the process easier and less time-consuming. The step-by-step guide was also very helpful, showing me exactly what I needed to do
