How to manage the frequency of the CPU in Windows

Hello all,
I am looking for a way to change the CPU frequency in Windows. I have already tried to do this using power management. However, using power management I cannot cover all the frequencies I am interested in. I would like to find a way to cover as many frequencies as possible(800 MHZ, 900 MHZ, 1000MHZ, 1100 MHZ, …, 3500 MHZ). Would any of you be able to help me out? Thank you in advance.

I use ThrottleStop: ThrottleStop (9.5) Download | TechPowerUp
Very customizable but I’m not sure it works on AMD.

My CPU is an Intel i7-8665U. Do you use ThrottleStop (9.5) for INTEL?

Yes. Should work fine

thanks a lot

sorry, I’ve just downloaded ThrottleStop and I’m trying to modify the frequency. I notice that I can manipulate the voltage. But I would like to modify directly the frequency. Do you know a way to do that?

Please check some tutorials on YouTube for example - but, in short, you can use the FIVR panel to create various frequency (or also voltage) profiles.

all right. thank you very much

I know it’s an “inconvenience” but why in the world not just use the BIOS? I had (recently upped the speed) my pc set to a max of 800Mhz but with Intel Speed Step, that got clocked down at idle, all the way down to a staggering low 260 Mhz.

That was FAR too slow, and probably inefficient for the time it took everything, so I stepped it up to 2.4Ghz (for 24, not because I like 2.4) but it doesn’t seem to go much about like 1.4 GHz which is fast enough for me. Actually, just running quick tests opening wireshark, file explorer and such, the CPU doesn’t even hit 1000Mhz, it stays around 900Mhz or less. And, I’m only running with two cores (four threads) I even have my mem at 800Mhz, and everything is plenty fast enough, even with half the ram I usually run, because I left the other stick somewhere else. Been doing just fine on 2,048 megabytes!

I wonder how much slower things would be without an SSD, that’ll be a good test.
