We're kinda going off the deep end on CPU stuff. Disabling Speedstep is the way I roll too on PC AND LAPTOPS where I have the setting.

From Intel's website:
Tuning Intel SpeedStep® Technology

Tuning Intel SpeedStep® Technology to Default Configuration
Disabling/Enabling Intel SpeedStep® Technology

Intel SpeedStep® Technology allows varying core frequency through performance state (P-state) transitions to reduce power. For 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors - Intel SpeedStep® Technology should be enabled to ensure that this technology does not cause unnecessary increases in power consumption. For other supported platforms - Intel SpeedStep® Technology should be disabled to avoid decreases in CPU frequency and delays in real-time pipeline execution.

Please do not take offense but using the term throttling/unthrottling in regards to speedstep is incorrect. Like previous discussions in this thread on setting power options in Windows, turning this off simply leaves the CPU at full performance, power consumption will be constant and typically there's no need to worry about overheating your machine by disabling speedstep. It is made to handle this. The only reason you would want speedstep on is if you're trying to save power (watts) on your machine's electricity usage. That's it.
