I want to control my CPU's max clock speed..
I don't want it to max on 3.6 GHZ when i'm rendering because it's getting 90-95 degrees + fan speed becomes too high + i can't do any other thing on the computer
Thanks in advance
Specs :
Ryzen 5 3550H
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
GTX 1050

@pavilion15user The only way to tweak how the processor works, is by following the below steps, there are no other ways recommended or supported by HP of getting it done:
If you have selected maximum battery life while your computer is unplugged, the processor power runs at a slower speed than as if it were plugged in. To control the processor adjustment through Power Options in the Control Panel, follow the steps below.
-
Click Start, enter power in the search field and then select Power Options from the list.
Alternately, right-click the power icon in the system tray beside the clock and select Power Options.
-
After the Power Options window appears, there are three plans from which you can choose:
-
HP Recommended
Provides a balance between power conservation and performance.
-
Power saver
Use Power saver mode when a wall outlet for DC power is unavailable.
-
High performance
Use High performance mode for the best processor responsiveness while plugged into a wall outlet (AC power).
-
To customize any of these power plans, click Change plan settings.
