Is there a program that allows me to lower the CPU multiplier if the "utilization" goes above a certain percentage? My CPU overclocks fairly heavily (using the multiplier and "turbo-boost"), and if I run 100% CPU (like one CPU-heavy thread per core), it overheats fairly seriously. I'm sure it would auto-shutdown at 200F to protect itself, but I would like a way to pull the multiplier down automatically if it goes above a certain usage level (or temperature, I guess).
Intel Core i5-4690K @ 3.50GHz
Multiplier: 8 - 43, goes into Turbo above 35.
You can find that in your BIOS, but 200 degree!! i don't know, anyway there is a small program called "speedFAN" allows you to control the temperature and the power :) – Narzan Q. – 2015-08-17T12:06:41.150
I got 4 cores and they all run 180 - 190 under full load. Talking Farenheit, of course. – Arlen Beiler – 2015-08-17T13:26:40.260
"Farenheit" that's better :) anyway @HoD he mention another good program "cpuid" give it a try – Narzan Q. – 2015-08-17T13:31:33.530
What CPU do you have? Modern Intel CPUs run quite cool, 150-160 fahrenheit should be the maximum you see with a properly installed cooler. – HoD – 2015-08-17T14:35:49.340

You can do this using Intel XTU, assuming you have a Z87 or Z97 board, given that your CPU is unlocked. – bwDraco – 2015-08-17T16:29:25.830
