Question Turbo on I5-1035G1 (laptop) is constant, how can I modify it's speed?

So I have this HP Pavilion laptop that has a 1050 ti and a I5-1035G1 as mentioned, and I can't install IXU to modify the clock speed and my only option was throttlestop that only lets me turn off and on turbo (from 1GHz to >3GHz), my question is, how can I modify its speed to a middle point? Because without turbo is like a 2010s PC and with turbo is like a normal PC but with really high temperatures (85°C>) and I get some really bad thermal throttling. I really want it to be only at 2GHz so I use it with balance, thanks :)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Might want to use the serial number on your laptop(or it's part number) and see if the laptop is pending a BIOS update. Where did you source the installer for your OS? Do any other resources get used abnormally when idle?
 
Is it safe to share my serial number? lol
And I don't know, it came with my laptop 🙁
And I configured all resources so no unknown apps use my CPU or RAM, the only problem is turbo overheating my pc :/
 
throttlestop that only lets me turn off and on turbo
To control the CPU speed, press the ThrottleStop TPL button, check the Speed Shift box and set the Speed Shift Max value to however fast you want your CPU to run.

Your other option is to adjust the turbo power limits. Lower power limits will reduce heat. Post some ThrottleStop screenshots if you need help.

Avoid updating the BIOS. These updates can cause more problems than they solve.

Do not post your serial number.
 
It actually worked!
It sort of works. Try using the Windows High Performance power plan. Your Custom power plan might be interfering with the Speed Shift Max value that ThrottleStop is trying to use.

Your screenshot shows your CPU is reaching 97°C at only 24W. I would check the MMIO Lock box and then I would set MSR PL2 to about 20W. Setting PL2 to 40W is way more heat than your cooling can manage. Adjusting the power limits is a better way to control your CPU than lowering the Speed Shift Max value. Check both Clamp boxes.
