Hello and good afternoon,

I'm fairly new to the Ubuntu ecosystem and i was wondering if there is a way to disable turbo boost on my machine (Bios option not available) i tried following a guide from back in 2015 using msr-tools but did not worked as intended not sure if its even possible but its making my computer fan spinning loudly while I'm just web browsing and i do not use anything intensive that requires a boots on the CPU. My question is: Is there a way to disable turbo boost completely?

To disable turbo boost (for Intel anyway) use this command:

$ echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

Another option is to limit your CPU frequencies to non-turbo boost speeds or even lower. For this purpose I wrote cpuf:
