A Linux CLI tool and daemon for undervolting Intel CPUs (Haswell and newer) and altering throttling limits such as package power (TDP) and temperature limits via reverse-engineered MSR access. It also supports switching HWP energy-versus-performance hints based on system load.
Use cases
- undervolt my intel cpu on linux to reduce heat
- lower cpu temperature limit to stop thermal throttling
- change package power limits tdp on a laptop
- switch cpu performance vs battery mode automatically based on load
- apply ThrottleStop-style voltage offsets on linux
- run intel-undervolt as a systemd daemon
When to choose
- you run Linux on an Intel Haswell-or-newer CPU and want undervolting or TDP/temperature limit control
- you want a lightweight C tool with systemd/OpenRC service integration
- you want automatic HWP hint switching for performance or battery life
When to avoid
- you are on Windows (use ThrottleStop or Intel XTU instead)
- your CPU or BIOS blocks undervolting (locked MSR, newer Intel generations)
- you are unwilling to risk hardware instability from reverse-engineered MSR writes
