    yes... the known question of all times. Figured on trying my luck, maybe someone managed to crack this problem in an unconventional way :)

    Controlling how? Like overclocking? The GPU can be done with something like MSI Afterburner or eVGA Precision. The CPU is locked down.

    Switching between the Intel GPU and Nvidia GPU? Apple has that disabled, and I haven't heard of a workaround/hack.

    you can control cpu and gpu but it is limited..
    I have that throttle stop and orig. nvidia tools overclock..
    instead of 1190 I manually increased cores multiplier voltage and clock modulation .. I went through plenty automatic turn OFFs to find stable speed

    Did you not see the post where he said he wasn't looking for information on overclocking?
