How to stop CPU from underclocking with a non working fan

[MotsHardware132]

Hello, my hp pavillion g6 fan recently stopped working and the whole system is underclocking itself to about 1.4 ghz when the stock speed is 2.4 ghz. Anyway to stop the CPU from throttling.I know what you are thinking,why dont i just fix the fan and not risk anything, well this laptop is quite old and has gone through a lot, i am getting a new PC some time soon and i just need this one to work at it's normal speed a little longer.I have tried to use ThrottleStop but it does not seem to be working.The BIOS doesnt include any clock speed options since its a prebuild laptop.Any other things i can try?

If you are successful in your attempt, you will destroy your CPU almost instantly. The only way to keep your CPU at speed is to keep it cool. You can try blasting air into your laptop while you use it.

As you are aware, the underclocking is a safety feature to prevent the CPU from burning up. Fixing the fan is the right option. An alternative is to use a cooling pad under the laptop, but the effectiveness of doing this is limited.

You should just use it as is if you don't want to replace the fan. It's thermal throttling as it is and even if you were able to disable that, it wouldn't last minutes.

its barely usible though,even 1 open thing(browser) starts lagging everything, cant watch videos, cant pretty much do anything

Go out and buy a replacement fan. You should be able to find something that works.

i have tried to look around but i live in eastern europe in a city quite small, and even if i do find something its just not going to be used for long. there is no one this laptop is going to be given to,most likely going to be locked in some drawer or something

The web is a wonderful place and you can have it shipped to you. If you aren't going to be using it for long then my suggestion is deal with it under clocking.

i have checked on the web too(at least the local websites) my lack of any electronic payment method kind of leaves me with no other options than to look around local parts websites and none of them seem to have the right replacement fan

You can buy reloadable debit/credit cards in a lot of places I've traveled. Might be an option.

Like others have said, replace the fan. The CPU is probably already running upwards of 200*F at its underclocked speeds.

Current temps are 88*C with mutliplier jumping between 16-19.And one of the reasons i dont want to change it is because it will not be used anymore and there is no reason to fix it when it will be put away in some cupboard
