    Yes its safe.

    You should update your bios though.

    I have a 53sw and I've been using ThrottleStop for a little over 8 months with no problems.

    Any reason for updating my BIOS? I admit I'm a little hesitant about that too, seeing as people kept on saying that only update it if I have to, or if I need one of the fixes it comes with.

    I've updated mine maybe twice since I've had my laptop and never had a problem with that either. Since there's nothing the update gives you, you might as well skip it then. "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."

    I admit I'm a little obsessive about things being up-to-date.
