I have an Asus N53SV laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. I need to calibrate profiler in NetBeans, and to do that I need to disable functions that lower the CPU frequency in my laptop. I believe it's called Intel SpeedStep Technology.

I have absolutely no option in BIOS regarding power saving frequency settings. Basically all I can change is the boot order. (I have the latest BIOS installed) I have tried changing the power plan to high performance, and setting CPU options in it to 100%, but according to CPU-Z, nothing happened. So how to turn it off? Thank you.

Open the Power Options(press enter image description here + R and type powercfg.cpl, hit Enter), follow:

Go to advanced power options for your power profile and change both minimum and maximum CPU state to 100%. This should ensure that the processor will never step down to a power frequency.

Edit: you may need to also set the cooling policy to "active" to ensure that heat issues aren't slowing you down. See this question for additional info: What regulates Intel SpeedStep CPU throttling? Can I get some control of this on Windows7?
