"Is it safe to deactivate processor performance boost mode?"

After noticing that my laptop was running at dangerously high temperatures, I took steps to address the issue by undervolting my CPU by about 60. In my search for additional solutions, I came across a helpful video that provided some effective strategies. However, I am now concerned about the safety of disabling certain features, particularly regarding performance trade-offs. I am prepared to experiment with settings, but I want to ensure that I am not risking any significant damage. 

 

One specific concern I have is whether disabling the overclock protection in my BIOS will have any negative repercussions on the changes I have made. Any insights or advice on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help. ❤️

    Disabling the processor's performance enhancement mode or Turbo Boost in the BIOS is safe. This will reduce CPU temperature and power consumption, but will sacrifice some high-performance capability.
