What temp causes thermal throttling?
Intel CPUs are typically set at 100 or 105 degrees Celsius whereas AMD CPUs typically thermal throttle at 95 degrees Celsius.
How do I stop my CPU from thermal throttling?
How to stop CPU throttling in Win 10
- Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options:
- Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Processor Power Management.
- Poor airflow – either from an insufficient cooling solution, or excessive dust build-up, which can clog fans, ventilation, and heat sinks.
What causes thermal throttling CPU?
Causes of Thermal Throttling Since a computer is an electronic device, it intrinsically produces heat when used. When the heat does not dissipate fast enough, the computer’s temperature significantly rises. This eventually triggers thermal throttling to counter the excessive heat build-up inside the computer.
Should I disable thermal throttling?
No! CPU thermal throttling exists to protect the CPU from damage due to excessive heat. This is a safe guard to prevent damage to an expensive component. If your PC is over heating and thermal throttling is kicking in, the best thing to do is to look into better cooling solutions.
How do you test thermal throttling?

How do I know if my CPU is thermal throttling?
How can you tell if your computer is being throttled?
What does thermal throttling do?
Adjusting the clock speed of the CPU based on the amount of heat it is currently generating. Thermal throttling helps cool the chip when it gets too hot by lowering the speed. See CPU throttling.
