Solved Does Camomile app stop your computer's CPU running hot

I see threads on this forum where user's computers are running hot and the normal advice is to go to a lot of trouble to fix it. Usually one is advised to take steps as shown the 'Crucial' article below, but then I have just read an article saying that an app can achieve the same result effortlessly. See 'Camomile' app below.

I have no vested interest in this app but I was wondering "Can it be true? Can it be that simple? Just install the app and select the 'Enable Cooling Mode' and that's it?"
Has anyone tested this app and found it genuinely works? I can't see the app reporting false CPU temperature reduction claims since they would soon get found out if they tried that.
If it does work then it seems to be another tool that can save time and money.

Just thought it may help some users.

Only one way to find out with Camomile installed.... Showing both HWInfo's temps next to Camomile to see if they report the same...

With Cooling Mode Disabled:



With Cooling Mode Enabled:





Temp is lower because the CPU speed is slower....

My fan will only run at maximum RPM as that's how I have it set...


It appears to add a new Power Plan:


Will need to put some load and see what happens as normally when my CPU runs slower, system lags as the mouse pointer will lag and uncontrollable. Have Windows 11 Insiders Canary Channel running under Hyper-V and it didn't cause any lags.

It slows down the system big time...

I will edit this comment and update as I discover new things....

So you have to choose, cooler CPU or higher performance? I choose the latter, any temperature lower than 80 degrees Centigrade is not a cause of concern.

I would choose the later too which is why I am on the Ultimate Performance Power Plan in the first place...

Exactly the same power plan I am using until my 3rd Generation Intel Core-i7 coupled with my old Intel Core-i3 CPU cooler (the original Core-i7 cooler was not included when I bought it second hand) reached the safety threshold of 105 degrees Centigrade. The CPU was automatically under clocked from its nominal 3.5GHz to barely 1.4GHz and it was crawling slower than a snail uphill! I immediately replaced the CPU cooler with a much better one and now it works slightly overclocked at 3.7GHz (the effect of using the Ultimate power plan, Turbo Boost is always enabled) and lower than 80 degrees Centigrade.

@spapakons - 100% in full agreement on what you said. We are both on the same camp about getting maximum performance while there are others who only look for lower temps and probably don't use the computer at all in reality. It's like giving someone who drives casually a Ferrari and they only use like 5% of what it's capable of.

Yes, like driving a Ferrari up to 50kph to avoid stressing the engine. Really ridiculous.

Thanks. I know an app can't fix a computer that is blocked with dust or other cooling devices not working correctly. I only started this thread in case the app can help some people to buy time and prevent damage to their device until it can be fixed properly.
I'll leave the room now.
