Disabling Turbo Boost vs Decreasing Maximum Processor State?
Does anyone know what's the underlying mechanism behind decreasing maximum processor state in Windows? and how it differs from basically disabling Turbo Boost. I am getting about 30 C degrees less on my cores when disabling turbo boost or reducing the maximum processor state to 99%. Therefore, I am wondering which one I should go with? and which one is a safer option?

Both are "safe", disabling turbo boost means that your CPU will only run at it's "stock" speeds.
But I don't understand how changing an option by 1% would change anything by any discernible amount.

Disabling it will make your PC run cooler and quieter. Your laptop's battery will also last longer! Note that some higher-end computers are built to sustain the Turbo Boost and have higher performing cooling systems to compensate
