MAC TURBO BOOST SWITCHER MALWARE PRO

This is just a shell wrapper around a kext to disable Turbo Boost on 64-bit macOS, taken directly from TBS. It's finally cool, calm, and lasts longer on battery life. This program runs totally silently in the background and I never have to think about it the same goes for my MacBook. There were no workarounds for this as far as I could tell, so I wrote this simple wrapper so I'll never have to see another one of those damn prompts again.

I love TBS but was being constantly bombared with at least 3 login prompts every time I unlocked my computer. I'm willing to have a bit of a hit in performance (about 20%) so that I can have a much nicer time using my computer. Typing on a warm keyboard is also a deeply unpleasent experience. That means (relatively) cool operation most of the time. It's well known that integrated circuits last longer if they are not stressed out as much during their life.

My 2018 Intel MacBook Pro runs hot most of the time.

If you're using an Apple Silicon based Mac, you are free from overheating by design!Īdditionally, the kext shown here will only work on Intel-based Macs. You're probably better off using TBS to be honest. This tool is only a shell wrapper abusing system privilages to wrap Turbo Boost Switcher (TBS) functionality behind the command line. If you would like continue development, please fork. This issue does not affect Apple Silicon Macs: as I no longer own an Intel Mac, I cannot guarantee the project works.
