I was struggling with overheating in my Acer 5738G while gaming or other processor intensive operations. After trying many methods, I’ve found this to be the easiest and the most practical of them all. Be sure to set the “minimum processor state” to lower or equal to the “maximum processor state” Now you can enjoy your games without worrying about your laptop turning off on you. Enjoy!.
