Turbo Boost Switcher For Mac

The Mac computers that come with support for the Turbo Boost function have it enabled by default, which means that if you are performing some demanding tasks, the CPU tends to overheat.

At the same time, using Turbo Boost while parallel processing can reduce the computer’s performance on top of raising the CPU heat.

Turbo Boost Switcher is a minimalist macOS application based on a kernel extension that resides in your status bar and allows you to disable and re-enable the Turbo Boost function with minimal effort.

To be able to change the Turbo Boost state, Turbo Boost Switcher installs a kernel extension that will modify the Turbo Boost MSR register.

However, the technical details are kept in the background, and you only have to interact with the app’s status bar menu.

Via the Turbo Boost Switcher menulet you get to view real time information about the CPU heat and the fan speed.

At the same time, the Turbo Boost Switcher status bar menu allows you to see if the function is on or off without expanding the list.

Turbo Boost Switcher also integrates an automatic function that must be configured by the user. The option completely eliminates the need for user interaction.

In the Turbo Boost Switcher settings panel add the applications for which the Turbo Boost function has to be disabled, and the utility will automatically make the change if at least one of those apps are running.

To conclude, if you are performing CPU demanding task but you do not want to overheat your Mac, disabling the Turbo Boost function can make a real difference.

Turbo Boost Switcher can help you make the switch without dealing with complex tools.
