Boost Changer

Here you can find the old repo of this app in gitlab

⚡ This App is only for Linux ⚡

❗ This App needs root rights. When and why? ❗

Boost Changer is made to control the frequencies of Intel CPUs. It can also manage the processor's energy consumption through Energy-Performance Preference.

In generall this app does not need root rights but when you hit the Turn Off or On button a popup window will ask you about your root password.
why?

• In your Kernel there is a file called /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo.

To turn off or on your turbo boost you have to change this file and that is what this app does.

• In your Kernel there is a file called /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct.

when you change the energy performance in Boost Changer you have to change this file and that is what this app does.

This app will only work on a real machine.
