# Boost Changer
## Boost Changer is now for AMD and Intel Processors :bangbang:
      
## :bangbang: This App is now only for Linux :bangbang:
### :heavy_exclamation_mark: This App needs root rights. When and why? :heavy_exclamation_mark:
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.
#### why?
- 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.
#### :pushpin: This app will only work on a real machine. :pushpin:
## What it isn't
This is just a GUI application and it is not meant to replace
[TLP](https://linrunner.de/en/tlp/tlp.html), [powertop](https://01.org/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.

## Common Issue for AppImage
The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing ...
