[Windows 7 Users] Cool your laptop/PC solution
#1
Are you running you're bot 24/7 and worried that your laptop/PC is getting hotter than you would like?
Follow the below settings for a guaranteed big drop in temperature.

This method is for Windows 7 users

Step 1
Go to Power Options from the Control Panel or the system tray menu.

Step 3
In the new window that pops-up, expand Processor Power management –> Maximum processor state, and reduce the on battery and plugged in power settings. The settings you keep will depend on your preferences and the capability of your system.
I have a reasonably good laptop but found that with Bluestacks running my fan most of the time would be screaming and my laptop generated quite a bit of unwanted heat which I used to worry would shorten the life.

I have lowered my CPU max rate down to 75% and have noticed very little difference in performance but a huge difference in running temperature and that my fan seems to not even exist anymore.

You can experiement yourself and pick a value that suits you're preference but with extensive testing I am able to run Bluestacks and still use my laptop to stream media and browse the net as normal and have noticed zero performance dip
