[QUOTE="Vasudev, post: 779947, member: 30411"] I disable it on most PC on AC power and never had any problems. I've seen people complain about crap cpu speeds when idle and cpu downclocking itself to 800MHz because of BDPROCHOT triggering mysteriously even though, temps are under 40-50C. BDPROCHOT looks at nearby sensor values and actually doesn't take into considering the offset values to be applied when the ambient temps increases/decrease calibrating it to correct values. The problems also occurs when your laptop battery is inside the laptop and temps values due to high FPS gaming can mislead BDPROCHOT to believe the CPU is overheating and introduce artificial throttling even though temps are fine. Notable example are Dell,HP and Lenovo w/ skylake and above CPUs. I won't say what they do to throttle 8th gen with higher cores and clocks.(hint: DPTF and TSkin temps) Even if you disable BDPROCHOT and your cpu reaches PROCHOT temps of 90-95C it'll throttle down to insane low clocks to reduce temps. I hate throttling when my temps are under 70C. It kills the experience when gaming and compiling huge apps/kernels. [/QUOTE]
