Fix: PC CPU speed too low

If your PC’s CPU speed is showing up too low say in CPU-Z (and thus your computer crawls), try turning off “BD PROCHOT” signal using the ThrottleStop tool.

Note that is not related to the PROCHOT processor overheating signal, but instead stops external sensors (that may be misfunctioning) to trigger CPU throttling, as mentioned at

BD PROCHOT and PROCHOT (processor hot) are two separate signals within Intel CPUs. BD PROCHOT allows sensors external to the processor to trigger throttling. Toggling BD PROCHOT on or off does not in any way interfere with the PROCHOT signal. PROCHOT is generated internally. For safety reasons, there is no feature in ThrottleStop that lets you disable the PROCHOT processor hot signal.
