Posted May 25, 2018 my default freq for my laptop cpu (i7 6700) is 2.6, and turbos up to 3.5. However, no matter if i set my cpu power management to 1, or 100, it still constantly goes above 2.6 causing me crashes. I just want to literally lock it at 2.6 for eternity. How?

Posted May 25, 2018 That would have to be in the BIOS. Since it's a laptop it will look quite a bit different from normal BIOSs. Since it's crashing I think it's very much within warranty claims because the laptop is designed to be able to withstand that 3.5ghz mark yet it's not.

Well if you change the BIOS settings then that voids your warranty so there isn't really much you can do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what universe does modifying your bios settings on a stock machine violate your warranty? Bios is there to enable you to configure your device. It's no different than changing a setting in the settings app in Windows. It's a much different situation than, say, someone installing a modified bios to access settings that aren't exposed by default, that would absolutely be grounds for voiding the warranty. Bot changing settings on the stock bios? Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most machines it's Delete or F2, but you'll need to check your manual to confirm exactly which key you need to press for your machine. The setting you want to disable is intel turbo boost.

Laptops without overclocking support have no options in their bios that could cause hardware damage. Laptops that do make you fully aware that it's at your own risk. Disabling Turbo Boost is not in any universe, ever, going to void a warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
