I’m not sure how there is any risk to damaging the hardware with it disabled as it uses feature provided in the hardware to disable. When I’m exporting video I want all the power I can get and the i9 + boost is great, but when I’m on a video call and my fans are going crazy because of a crummy video client making my cpu crazy, disabling turbo boost is wonderful. But if you’re doing a CPU intensive task with it disabled it will take longer and still drain down the battery as you’re working slower for longer vs a boost and quick completion. If you have a MBP and are out and about and want to conserve battery life it can be great. I think it all depends on what your objectives are. And of course that is when 10.16 comes out, which based on the catalina track record I will be weary of upgrading for a while (I’m one of the nuts that keeps everything up to date in an OCD like fashion, but catalina has been a bumpy road for me).ĮDIT: I’m also on a 2019 16" MBP with the i9 proc So even though you will get a warning that it’s a legacy extension it seems like it should keep working except for maybe a brief period when the developer needs to change out the API calls to work the new way. There is a small risk that eventually the app would not work with a future Mac OS version, but the developer confirmed with Apple that they would only be blocking kernel extensions using the old APIs when the new userspace APIs are available to do the same thing. If you just want to improve battery life on OS X El Capitan or Yosemite, follow these less invasive tips.I use it all the time and it’s great! The pro version is nice as I can be in better control of when I want to sacrifice some computer power for either lower thermal temps or better battery life, as well as setting specific rules for different applications to enable/disable turbo boost. Due to the nature of modifying the kernel extension, you should always back up your Mac before using such a utility. Novice Mac users should not use this application. This utility is only for advanced users really meant, if you are not happy with the idea to change the kernel extensions and their consequences for the use of uncertified third-party software, or the idea of slowing down Macia deliberately slowing down the hardware features, this is not for you. The utility loads and unpacks kernel extensions to force TurboBoost to disable or return to the default state when the user interacts with the menu bar item. Perform this task, we use third-party Mac tool called Turbo Boost Switcher for OS X that is compatible with OS X of El Capitan, but not with MacOS Sierra (yet), this application also requires a modern Mac-processor, such as Core i5 or Core i7. Of course, you can also re-enable Turbo Boost, which is the default on modern Macs. Some advanced Mac users may want to change this feature themselves, manually disabling TurboBoost when they want to extend battery life at the expense of overall computing efficiency. Turbo Boost can speed up the performance of your Mac (or PC), but it can also increase power consumption, which means your Mac can run hotter and your MacBook’s battery can drain faster when it’s activated. Many modern Macs have processors that include a feature called Turbo Boost, which allows the processor to temporarily run above normal clock speed when requested by the operating system. I hope you all like this guide How to Disable (& Enable) Turbo Boost on a Mac. I will try my best so that you understand this guide very well. This guide is about the How to Disable (& Enable) Turbo Boost on a Mac.
