Monitor CPU speed and type

ThrottleStop is a piece of software that monitors and adjusts three different types of CPU throttling and tests processor performance. Due to manufacturer integrated throttling, some laptops limit the power allotted to certain processes. For those who are knowledgeable in CPU usage and are careful not to overclock their CPU, it’s a valuable tool in manipulating your computer’s power to work for you. In order for your modern hardware to run at its full potential, managing resources with ThrottleStop can create an efficient and fast system.

Monitor your CPU performance

ThrottleStop is designed to automatically detect your CPU speed and type. The four types of performance profiles monitored are optimised performance, internet navigation and battery support, as well as gaming. These four profiles are customizable and can be easily switched between by simply clicking on the corresponding number. Each one is designed to maximise the performance of each of those functions and run as smoothly and efficiently as possible when in use.

Easy to switch profiles

Whether you want to slow down your CPU with “Clock Modulation” or allow it to run at 100% of its capability, ThrottleStop lets you do it all and quickly with its easy to use CPU profiles. The left side of the user interface offers a variety of options for setting changes, while the right side allows for monitoring and shows you the state of each thread of your CPU.
