Linux has some awesome apps, one of them is the app which allows you to control speed (MHz) at which your CPU is able to operate.

Is there something similar for windows 8.1?

    You mean [like this](http://superuser.com/q/323738/167187)? – Vinayak Aug 12 '14 at 09:33
  • @Vinayak simillar, but maybe there is some sort of application which would allow me to control CPU speed easier (faster)? – asdasda Aug 12 '14 at 09:35

    I don't know of a universal application that supports all kinds of CPUs. You might be interested in [RMClock](http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml). Read the answer from the question I linked in my earlier comment. RMClock is mentioned there. – Vinayak Aug 12 '14 at 09:41
  • @Vinayak - All types of CPUs? There are two and both are x86 CPUs. Anything that works on one will work on the other. The problem is the x86 archecture extension that handles this feature within AMDs and Intel's products are not universal. – Ramhound Aug 12 '14 at 11:18
  • @Ramhound: By different "kinds" of CPUs, what I meant was Intel and AMD processors. And the different processor models (Celeron, Pentium, Core, Athlon, Sempron, etc) – Vinayak Aug 12 '14 at 15:23
  • @Vinayak All those kinds can be controlled through at least one common interface -- ACPI. – Armen Michaeli Dec 05 '16 at 12:28

You can try making a power plan and setting the maximum processor state:

Then you can try this answer on superuser to automate switching between profiles quickly: here
