Hi guys, I managed to turn off the boost clock on my Ryzen 7 4800H using registry changes that let me adjust it in battery settings. With boost enabled, it runs at 4.2 Ghz, while without it stays at a base of 2.9 Ghz. My main goal was to stop the fans from spinning too much, which helps with airflow and dust buildup, and also improves thermal performance even when I’m just browsing or watching videos. I’m wondering if switching between these settings could harm the processor over time? I usually turn boost back on before gaming for maximum speed but switch it off afterward to protect longevity. Could constant switching cause any damage to my CPU? Thanks for your advice.

It's normal for the CPU to shift between low and high power modes depending on usage. This gives you better management of the system.

Thanks a lot for this! The transition between modes doesn't cause sudden changes in power usage or processor speed. It's just my careful attention and a little caution—thank you for the thoughtful gift I bought myself, and I hope it lasts a long time.
