Any way to enable/disable via shell?

[dzg]

Anyone know a way to control Turbo Boost from command line?

You can load the kernel extension using kexutil

Best!

For reference for others, to load the kext and disable turboboost:

sudo kextload "/Applications/Turbo Boost Switcher Pro.app/Contents/Resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext"

And to unload it, re-enabling turbo boost:

sudo kextunload "/Applications/Turbo Boost Switcher Pro.app/Contents/Resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext"

Assuming you've already got Turbo Boost Switcher installed and working and the kext approved!

In 2024 I'm using this command to disable turboboost:

sudo kextload "/Applications/tbswitcher_resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext

This one to re-enable turboboost:

sudo kextunload "/Applications/tbswitcher_resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext"

And this one to see the status:

kmutil showloaded -V release | grep -c com.rugarciap.DisableTurboBoost

To troubleshoot any errors check HELP.rtfd from the dmg or run this command:

sudo kextutil -v /Applications/tbswitcher_resources/DisableTurboBoost.64bits.kext
