r/ThrottleStop

The last beta update was on April 2nd, 2025 and I was wondering if the project has been abandoned

Started using throttle stop because my laptop heats a lot , I'm using a 2024 predator i7 13700hx with 4060 , during gaming it's gets to like 92-93c , I did not mess with too much , only set pl1/2 70/110 , and speed shift to 80 , what more can I do so that I can temps around 80-85 but not losing to much frames ,(I even cap fps around like 58 )

I am having an MSI KATANA i use it a lot for coding so a lot of parallel cores running at the same time (specially when i do data science and i run programs using 5-10 parallel cores. Also i play occasional hearthstone.

Thank you so much. If any details please let me know. This image is while i do a lot of parallel work (a lot of parallel cores running)

I dont know much about Undervolting, Since i am a beginner. It my first time doing an undervolt.

At first i Undervolt In Bios And set it at Max applicable Undervolt that is -80mv. And tested system stability with test like Y cruncher and OCCT (CPU+RAM) And it was passed with 8 hour run. (cache Undervolt is 0 for both cache that is P and E)

But as i kept increasing And reached the point where my current undervolt is -150mv and P cache -100mv and Still is passing the test

(using ThrottleStop)

I confirmed that undervolting was working by watching readings in HWinfo application

Here are my core configuration

2p cores are at 55x

6p cores are at 52x

16e cores at stock 41x

Undervolt

E cache = 0

P cache = -100mv

Cpu core = -150mv

Passing OCCT And y-cruncher at this is frightening me

Ofc I havent played any games yet

If you have any games recommendations that could really test my Undervolt stability or Any rendering task will also do

OCCT setting were Extreme, Large data set with Variable load.

Is there any thing i should be concerned please let me know!!!

EDIT forgot to add PL values PL1 is 65W and PL for 2 mins is 90W Max PL values is 175W for CPU

Short recording of Cinebench R23 Benching with my Current settings

Hello everyone, recently I've gone down the extensive rabbit hole of GPU and CPU optimizations. After much trial and error I was able to find good results. I am doing all of this on a pretty clean slate laptop that has been setup with a debloated image of Win11 from MicroWin. My general question is what I can do to push my results even further.

I am also running MSI Afterburner, 2480 @ 900mv, with 900 MHz memory clock on my RTX 4080.

I am running the following Throttle stop settings, I have not changed any TPL settings in TS:

I am running 38/16 efficiency core ratio and a 120 mv offset at 800mv for extra UV.

To find those values and settings I used a spreadsheet and tracked each point to find the sweet spot. My core issue is thermal throttling with p-core 0 when I push the thermal limits, it seems to be a preferred core. Here are the tables I made:

Question if i lets say undervolt to -145, does my v/f point need to be at least 10 points above it like 155 for stability or 160?

Hi, here's my situation:

I have user A (the one I always use, which isn't an admin account) and user B (which is an admin account).

I don't know how to get ThrottleStop to start automatically when I'm logged in as user A. The only thing I've managed to do is get it to start as I'd like, but in user B. Or, I can get it to start in both A and B, but of course, it runs in the background, so I can't access it from the system tray (and I'd like it to).

And yes, I've tried several configurations in Task Schedule.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

I Downloaded the latest version of ThrottleStop (9.7.3) (released April 2025) and the beta version

I have dell xps 16 9640 Intel Ultra 9 185H

There is only one ThrottleStop.exe file in the downloads

Both only run the 32 bit version

I need 64 bit

Please, how can I get the 64 bit version?

Any suggestions for settings?

First of all I am incredibly annoyed by this damn PL2 and PL1 handicap on this Acer Notebook. I have a custom cooling pad underneath that it can freezes the whole component up to the point where overheating isn't an issue anymore but this damn limit is just sucks.

I'm using an Acer Aspire 5 notebook with a pretty decent spec, i3 1115G4 and an MX350. TDP is 28watts max and 12watts low, base clock at 3ghz. Whenever the dGPU is on load, it will trigger this PL2 and then PL1 after a while which makes me stuck to 12watts reducing my FPS significantly. I tried everything like disabling DPTF, increasing PL1 and PL2 by also checking the lock box AND sync mmio, going to the BIOS and see if there's a setting to change PL limit result: none. For a record this doesn't happen before, it usually let it boost to at least 17watts (idk why it triggers PL2 locked on 17watt but it maintain the temp tho) for a consistent 3.6ghz while also maintaining GPU workload. It (CPU) can boost above 20watts when the GPU isnt on load. Here's the random part, sometimes the 12watts limitations is there sometimes it isnt last week. I'm fine with rebooting my laptop once to get that 17watts boost but then after another week, that 12watts suddenly never go away.

I know what I'm doing and I stumbled upon this article saying that I cannot do anything because it's the EC (embedded controller) that small cube thing sitting next to this damn processor is the one who overrides my CPU to not let it boost to what I wanted it to be. But idk, again temp is relatively too cool for this laptop which is a constant 60 degrees during heavy gaming load so temp isnt the problem here, thermal headroom is a LOT. I believe there are ways that I dont know off or might missed but please I hope someone in here can help me out, there's this one article where he managed to make the limitations off on his notebooks by doing a DDU on both igpu and nvidia, then reupdated it, I am not sure but i might give that a try later.

here is my TS screenshot just in case:

Thank you for reading my rant haha
