High laptop temperature due to Intel Turbo Boost

Go to solution Solved by AMD A10-9600P,

This isn't an issue, as it is a laptop and is not designed to be a high powered gaming machine, but it is possible to disable turbo boost. Download ThrottleStop and check the "Disable Turbo Boost" box, then your CPU should stay below it's turbo speed, so you should spare maybe a couple of degrees.

 

It can be normal for turbo boost to be disabled on battery power, as it means that the CPU uses less power, conserving battery life, and also producing less heat.

Hello!
I have a Lenovo Ideapad 520 15-ikb with i7-8550U and MX150 GPU 4GB VRAM. My CPU GHz is always at 1.8GHZ but when I run a game it boosts to 3.9 GHz  I checked the temperatures while gaming The GPU temp was average 75 degrees(C) while the CPU temperatures were between 88(C) and 96 (C) most of the with peak temp as 98(only saw that for a sec). Sometimes when I plug off my laptop before turning it on the turbo boost turns off(1.8GHZ) and my temperature became normal at 60C. So, any idea how can I fix this issue? Is there any way I can permanently disable Turbo boost?

Sorry for my bad English.
