Boost Changer is made to control the frequencies of the CPUs. It can also manage the processor's energy consumption through Energy-Performance Preference.

In generall this app does not need root rights but when you hit the Turn Off or On button a popup window will ask you about your root password.

• If you have Intel then in your Kernel there is a file called /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo.

To turn off or on your turbo boost you have to change this file and that is what this app does.

• If you have Intel then In your Kernel there is a file called /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct.

when you change the energy performance in Boost Changer you have to change this file and that is what this app does.

This is just a GUI application and it is not meant to replace TLP, powertop or any other power management / energy consumption service. It is meant just to provide quick access to sysfs settings related to Intel Processors and in fact it can run on top of TLP.
