I have an Intel i7 4710-mq in my laptop. Due to thermal issues, I have set the maximum processor state to 99% so as to avoid Intel Turbo Boost kicking in. However, this does not appear to be working.
After several minutes of gaming, the laptop hits the tj max and shuts down.
There is no evident throttling of the CPU prior to this happening so I have no idea why Turbo Boost isn't being disabled (there is no option to do so in the BIOS) or why thermal throttling doesn't appear to be occuring.
Any advice on how to resolve these issues would be appreciated.
