A Python CLI tool for undervolting Intel CPUs under Linux by writing voltage offsets to MSR 0x150, similar to ThrottleStop on Windows. It can also adjust temperature targets, power limits, and turbo settings.

Use cases

  • undervolt my intel cpu on linux to reduce heat
  • apply a -100mV core voltage offset
  • set cpu temperature throttle target
  • change short and long power limits (PL1/PL2)
  • read current undervolt offsets
  • convert ThrottleStop settings to linux commands
  • disable intel turbo boost

When to choose

  • you run Linux on an Intel CPU and want ThrottleStop-like undervolting
  • you need to tweak temperature targets or power limits via MSR 0x150
  • you want a simple pip-installable CLI for voltage offsets

When to avoid

  • you are on Windows (use ThrottleStop instead)
  • your CPU is AMD or lacks MSR 0x150 support
  • you are uncomfortable with hardware-damaging risk on untested hardware
  • you need a GUI tool
