Change CPU MHz from Registry

Is this safe?

I was interested about the CPU so I did a little digging and found this location

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0 ~MHz shows your MHz in hexadecimal.


Solution 1:

This registry key is for information only. Its purpose is to pass the CPU information to applications running on Windows.

Although the permissions on the key allow modification by an administrator, they will have no effect on the CPU itself, but may cause inefficiencies in some applications.
