Is there a way to prevent my laptop (G512LV) from sitting at high clock speeds when on mains but not under heavy load?

I understand that but surely there should be an option to stop it boosting within the OS without having to disable a feature in the BIOS?

As I am sat here right now, it’s boosting to 4.4GHz, I am on mains and it is less than 4% CPU usage.

Unplug mains, CPU speed is hovering at around 1.1GHz with the same utilisation and the temperatures are plummeting.

So what I am asking is, to be able to have the laptop perform as it is currently going on battery, but with the mains adaptor plugged in. Obviously if CPU load picks up I would expect it to increase speed/frequency appropriately but it just feels like an all round waste when web browsing or working on a very small spreadsheet

Mate your cooking, even mine doesnt get that hot, whats your ambient room temperature? I would even recommend getting a cooling pad this is what I use and it does the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P04WEDM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
