Question Disabling Turbo Boost or Change maximum processor state to a value below 100?

[SpartanJohn117]

Hello! I have a gaming laptop (Dell G7 17 7700 CPU: i7 10750H RAM: 16 GPU: 1660 Ti) which all of the time is overheating when gaming (gets up to 90 degrees) and I found a solution on this so I disabled turbo boost to make it cooler. As soon as I started checking out if there was a huge change I noticed that the laptop is now slower than before, like when you click a program like Google and it doesnt open so you click it again and it opens 3 times, or when you go to the main settings and click the tab Display for example and it takes like 5 seconds to open it... I googled a bit and found another solution to the heating problem. Maybe if I turn on the Turbo Boost and Change maximum processor state to a value below 100? Or would that have the same results, makin the laptop again slow?

90c is not hot for laptop cpu. they usually can go up to 100c

Yeah but I don't think it's gonna last more than 5 years it's gonna be the same with my Alienware 17 r3 motherboard got fried...

Well you can't do both. maybe only play in a AC room

Yeah I did try that but still... Doesn't change anything.. But which do you guys prefer? Disabling turbo boost or changing the maximum processor state?

why don't you try it and see which one is better?

Alright imma enable the turbo boost and lower the max processor state
