Disabling Turbo Boost (why) rMBP

[dilutedq]

What exactly are the benefits of disabling turbo boost like I see people doing? and are people just turning it off and letting it stay at the max stock spu (2.3ghz or 2.6,7ghz)

I see people mention it but no details if they are disabling it or then clocking the stock speeds higher..

I do it to,

• Keep the temperatures down
• Prevent CPU throttling
• Prevent over draw of power than what the computer can charge during intensive tasks over a long period of time. Heavy application and games.

I also do this religiously in boot camp.
There is a massive difference in temperature when used in conjunction with lubbos fan control. And I personally think it prevents the SMC bug from occurring because I've never seen it happen on mine yet.
Ive tested a few things and found It also doesn't cause much if any fps loss in games so its a win win situation.

I only wish there was a way to disable turbo on OSX
