What it does
Stops Windows from downclocking/parking CPU cores at light load.
The honest verdict
Real but narrower than it sounds: it mainly steadies frame pacing in CPU-bound games (and stops light-load core downclocking), with little to gain in GPU-bound ones — at the cost of idle watts. Compy can switch plans for you, with the exact previous plan recorded for rollback.
How Compy treats it
Where it genuinely fits a rig, Compy can recommend it — applied with a snapshot first and a one-click rollback after, like every change it makes.
The Compy Blackbook holds 191 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
