4.0/5

The majority of computer programs only use a little of your CPU, but some can require a heavy amount on the spot, which can take time to deliver by Windows. In order to keep processors ready at all times, Full Throttle Override comes with the means to help you maximize CPU performance for programs of choice.

The setup process doesn’t take a lot of time and you benefit from its set of features before you know it. A system restart is not required to make it work, but it is recommended to run it with administrator privileges for Windows to allow performance control APIs.

On the bright side of things, your intervention is only necessary to set up the list of target programs. The application does its job from the tray area. In fact, it isn’t even fitted with a graphical interface and all functions are handled through the dedicated tray icon.

It starts by default in automatic mode, with the possibility to switch to full throttle, or disable CPU clocking. The tray icon is animated to indicate activity and frequency. You can access the settings menu in order to set colors for borders, frequency, and activity indicators.

The settings menu also allows you to choose the power plan. There are a couple of options at your disposal, namely activate high performance power scheme, or to increase minimal CPU frequency to 100%.

The computer processor isn’t kept active at all times. In fact, it’s designed to only kick in for the applications you want to. As such, you need to create a list of programs to target by simply loading the executable files. You can choose to enable or disable automatic throttling when the program in question is active.

There’s no built-in option to make it run with Windows, but you can add a shortcut in the Startup folder to have it ready by the time you reach the desktop. Advanced users can also use the Task Scheduler to run it on startup with the highest privileges.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Full Throttle Override is a neat application which can help you forget about those times when the PC seems to hang because of a spontaneous request for high CPU by particular programs. It only speeds up when necessary, being worth your while overall.
