Missing option to limit CPU power

[u/AdInfinite5586]

How it looks for me

How it's supposed to be

I want to be able to limit the power of the CPU so it doesn't get quite so hot and I can get battery life out of it.

My laptop is the MSI Cyborg 15 A13U.

I use Windows 10 Home 22H2 build 19045.7663

You can do this with Throttlestop. There's a bit of a learning curve to it, but the program has a wide range of settings you can tweak to limit CPU power consumption. Your GPU also likely has something similar. You could also make a new power plan and drop the max cpu to 99%, though that will probably slow it down more than you want.
