shifting from 1.9 GHz to 2.3 GHz and back, and while I had fewer issues actually playing PTq, LatencyMon still saw problems, and the audio issues were not 100% fixed.Ī) Windows is slowing down the CPU to its lower load (i.e. When I ran on Win10, even after checking that High Performance used the 100% for both max and min, I still saw some shifting of the CPU speed, even from within the performance tab of PTq. In any case if you run Windows at High Performance power profile, you automatically shouldn't have CPU throttling happening. HP EliteBook 840 G1 14" HD Business Laptop Computer Ultrabook, Intel Core i5-4300U 1.9 GHz Processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, USB 3.0, VGA, Wifi, RJ45, Windows 10 Professional (Certified Refurbished) I know there are ways to address this within the OS, both for linux and windows, but if possible, I'd rather just take care of it once and for all in the BIOS, as it seems others have done. Is this common for HP across their laptops? Should I avoid HP if I want to adjust CPU speeds in the BIOS? (perhaps I misunderstand this option?)ĭoing some online research suggests that HP may have intentionally not offered BIOS options for CPU speed regulation, as they want to prevent overclocking, and/or they think more customers will return the laptop for short battery life if they intentionally/accidentally put the laptop in high performance mode, at least in the BIOS. There is an option for "Enable turbo boost on DC", but that is not selected.

I have looked through the BIOS very carefully (included some screen shots here ), and cannot find any BIOS options to disable Intel SpeedStep or related cpu throttling options. I ordered the below laptop, an HP EliteBook.
