If your FIVR voltage cannot be changed, your CPU voltage control may be locked by your laptop's manufacturer. You can check your PC's model online and see if anyone has come up with solutions to enable voltage controls on your laptop's model, such as through BIOS settings or flashing a different version BIOS. Some laptops though, you won't be able to get past the voltage control lock. In that case, you won't be able to undervolt, but you should still be able to play around with the other settings mentioned in the video (such as adjusting Power Limits (PL))
Some people dig straightforward videos that lasts up to 3 minutes at most, while some desires for detailed tutorials that lasts up to 20 minutes on average. This however, stands between the two and the one I liked the most. Every significant feature is explained briefly and steps ain't gonna mess with an amateur's brain. No convulsive intros, no plugs, no bullshit - just your rare detailed tutorial that wouldn't eat too much of your precious time. Undervolting may seem overwhelming and intimidating, but with the right videos like this, you'd be giving your laptop's CPU one hell of a favor. I've nothing to do so I decided to write a short review as send-off to my consistently 93°C CPU temp while gaming.
My God, I should've done this *months* ago! Went from resting temp of 70 down to 50, and load temp of 100 down to 75-80, with practically no performance loss. Hopefully, my long trials of random, seemingly incurable framerate drops are over. It's worth noting though that TS has updated its UI since this video, and things seem to have been moved, changed or renamed. An updated video *might* be warranted, but I got along just fine myself. :) Thanks so much!
@@russiachan2 all i had to do was follow this video up to the TPL stuff, which I couldnt do, and it almost completely cured my hard stutters. not completely, but some games (of DRG) have zero issues, some do, but used to be all. now it's uncommon (daily, but i play a lot)
Went from 3hrs to 5hrs of battery life on my locked cpu laptop. Wish I could under-volt but the further steps described here are exactly what I needed!
Hi, could you make a video with the latest version of Throttlestop? some options don't appear in the current version and I'm not really sure if I did everything correctly :D Overall, really good video and explanation
The battery on my MS Surface Pro of about 7 years died last year and just recently the CPU slowed such that programming on it was a nightmare. With ThrottleStop it appears that I am now able to resume using my laptop as normal - or until it burns up ; ) Thanks for making ThrottleStop available.
Thanks a lot for this guide!, Just by adjusting the speedshift to 16 I reduced my temp from 70 to 35-40 and stopped my i9 from throttling from top speed to 800 every minute!! didn't even need to lower the voltage
explain every setting. I want to learn everything and you have the best video on YT about throttle stop so please make a video explaining each option and setting.
For undervolting, I've seen forums mention that Intel GPU and iGPU unslice should have the same undervolt. Same goes for CPU core, CPU cache, and system agent (although I'm not sure about the last one, since I can't find anything about it on the internet)
This guide was awesome. I was able to get my temp below the 90's. I think I just need some new thermal paste and some cleaning but it's helped a bit. I did get a blue screen trying to go -170 or -180. So I think -160 is the sweet spot. Still says it's thermal throttling, though. lol
Great video! Best video I’ve ever seen in regards to explaining the settings and what they do. I have a question If I’m getting the PL2 notification, do I need to increase or decrease the value that is set? I’m currently using a i9750H
PL2 means that you are hitting the limit of how much power you allow the cpu to take. If you have the thermal headroom, you can increase the power limit. Increasing the PL will increase the wattage consumed, so it will increase heat output but you will also get better performance because the cpu is getting more power. So the answer to your question is it depends on what you want to do. Hitting power limit is completely normal as all you're doing is limiting the amount of power the cpu is allowed to take. If you let the CPU take as much power as it wants, you're gonna thermal throttle due to too much heat output. If you want cooler temps at the cost of lowered performance, you can decrease the PL
Great Video that helped me get better gaming performance. But I'm a bit confused about the TS Bench. I have a i7-8565U and can undervolt my CPU Cache to ~-90mV till i start getting Errors. But when i started to undervolt my Core more i was able to get -250mV with no Errors, but was afraid to test further. So my Question is: Can you test with TSBench if you are stable if you only increase the undervolting for the core but not the cache? Since -90mV and -250mV seem like an insane difference. I haven't started changing TPL (because of the new UI) and i get the red "Power" Limit indicator during tests. If you need any info just ask. Help would be greatly appreciated
I have the same thing happening, have a thinkpad with i7 8650u and the core is at -260 ish however the cache can only go to -90 UPDATE: pushed core to -400. cache is still -90 and everything else is -50 Update 2: -500 holy shit
Could you explain more the PL1 and PL2 values? How do they affect performance/temperature and how do we calculate PL2 (PL1 is just your total voltage during GPU + CPU tests if I understood you correctly)?
So you'll first want to understand the differences between voltage, amps, and wattage. If this was a water pipe, volt is the water pressure, amps is how wide the pipe is, and wattage is the total water flow. A wider pipe would of course allow more water to flow, and higher water pressure would also allow more water to flow. Therefore, wattage is calculated as volt * amps = watts. Watts can be thought of as how much electricity is being used. Power Limit: how many watts the component is allowed to use. For example, a CPU with a 45w power limit will be limited to 45w of power max. For intel, these are separated into PL1 and PL2. PL2 is the short term power limit, where a processor can use more power for a short amount of time before PL1 kicks in, which is the long term power limit. For example, a CPU with a PL1 of 45w may boost to 60w with PL2 for 30 seconds before dropping down to 45w. As the name implies, this is how much power your cpu is allowed to have, which means more power = more performance. However, all that electricity is energy, and that energy gets converted to heat in the processor. So the more electricity you use, the more heat you produce. More wattage = more performance = more heat
@@jedi22300 So if a CPU has a PL2 = 45w and it consumes 45w under a stress test, enabling Power Limit Control and making PL2 = 60w (for example) won't change anything, the CPU isn't gonna consume more than 45w in a long test anyway? You just can just reduce the PL to decrease performance/heat, that's it?
@@slavavr Increasing the PL2 to 60w will only increase the short term power limit to 60w. So it'll allow it to pull 60w for a little bit but that's it. If you want more performance over long term, you'd want to increase both PL2 and PL1 to 60w so that it can pull 60w
@@jedi22300 I wrote PL2 instead of PL1, sorry. So if a CPU pulls 45w under a stress test and you increase PL1 to 60w it won't change anything, the CPU won't consume more wattage anyway?
I have got an 8750H I am trying to undervolt rn, and with power limit disabled my CPU is getting 60w under a stress test in AIDA. I tried to enable power limit and set PL1 to 70w for example (and kept PL2 = 90w), and it changed nothing, the wattage stayed the same, around 60w. I watched a couple throttlestop videos where the guys set their PL1 to the wattage their CPUs consumed in a stress test, but is that no different from not enabling power limits at all?
thank you for this great guide, my CPU is locked so could adjust volts but still a great guide non the less for me, any hope of doing a updated guide given the UI change?
could you please make a video explaining the tpl part? my laptop is thermal throttling when I did the test you put in the desc, and I don't know what to do 😅

hi, my Unlock adjustable voltage is locked. how can I unlock it? I have a Gigabyte G5 KC laptop edit: i fixed it with insyde tool. thanks for the video
Thank you jedi! I have one question on running TS at startup: I have set everything as shown in the forum thread linked in the description, but I never find TS in the tray area and have to start it manually. Is it possible that, on Windows 11, there's a different procedure for running it at startup?
I'm not aware of Win 11 changing the functions of task scheduler. Have you checked if TS was maybe running in the background in task manager, but not showing up in the tray area? If TS is shown as running in the task manager, you may have unchecked the "notification area icon" option in the TS options menu.
I don't remember what I did exactly, but now I have ThrottleStop running at Windows startup and it shows in the tray area. Anyway, thank you for your time!
when talking about the power limits numbers do you mean the numbers next to clamp or in miscellaneous? My misc numbers are Min 1 and max 35 while the clamp numbers are exact as yours.
Thank you a lot. As i have Acer and did have big problem with Temp did have like 88 'C was very hot now thanks to you is 70 'C it is of course a lot but better. Was curios can i lower temperature even more ? I have two more questions, first, when I made an offset voltage on Core and Cache and restarted the laptop, only these settings seemed to return to 0 and not to -70, do you know why? and when is set to Performance Mode but i don't want the speed at 3.4Ghz all the time, but let's say as a Balance little bit lower than little bit higher can i do that and how?
Just the video needed to see. Although, I think something is wrong with my CPU. Doesn't matter if I change anything on TPL, it keeps showing in "Limit Reasons" the PL2 in yellow and Thermal at the Core column after every test bench, also the the EDP Other is always showing on RING. I'm doing something wrong?
For Lenovo Legions, will Performance settings (High Performance/Balanced) override Lenovo Vantage Thermal Settings (Performance/Balance/Quite)? And will Throttlestop Performace sttings be applied at all if the first box under Performance stays unticked?
I don't have the box that says "Disable and lock turbo power limits". Is this located somewhere else in 2024? The process as shown still works for me, just wondering if it's something to dig more for or not.
@@Wecoxxx Unfortunately, Throttlestop only works for intel CPUs. However, you might be able to tweak some settings on ryzen with ryzen master. I'm not entirely sure though.
I need some help. On my Legion Y540-15IRH with an i7-9750H, I’m having thermal throttling even with -150mV for an undervolt on both the core and cache. I even tried just setting the all core to 4.0 so that none of the cores would boost higher than that, and whej I run Aida64 and Heaven benchmark (stable and doesnt crash with undervolt) I get serious throttling dropping clocks down to 3.0-3.5. CPU consistently reaches 94-100 degrees. I’m using Throttlestop 9.5 newest, which is mostly the same except for a few things. What else can I change to get better temps?? Should I make the all core lower like 3.7GHz? Didnt mess with the TPL values, believe long PL1 is 70 and short PL2 is 107 by default
Finally understood throttlestop at last but still I got a problem on my laptop ..... I have a MSI GF65 Thin RTX 3060 i5 10500h and I did some undervolting with some videos I found from RUclips but my games keep crashing when I play them probably within 10-15 minutes during gameplay.... Can you suggest some particular reason that it happens as said?
Does it only crash if you have the undervolt applied? You can test by removing the undervolt and seeing if crashes continue. If it only crashes with the undervolt applied, it probably means you undervolted too much
hey dude, i know its 2 years later, but i just want to ask should i touch any other profile you didnt mention like game for example, or just performance and battery profiles are good enough?
Recently (well, literally a year and a few months ago) I factory reset my laptop, after doing so undervolting has done absolutely nothing to my performance, before I was getting maybe even 3x the fps I usually get, but now there is pretty much no difference, I've seen nobody else have this problem. Update: I have fixed the problem, I had to disable any "windows features" to do with virtuality and disable intel virtuality features in the BIOS. Update 2: Performance has improved a lot but I get some HUGE throttling and my laptop heats up more than usual, any help?
in the FIVR above the CPU core and the CPU cache instead of saying FIVR control it says not available and i cant change any of the values for the CPU core or cache, is there a way to solve this
can i set a maximum cpu clock speed and then set the voltage? if yes, how can i do it? I have an i7 10750 and I would like to maximize the clock speed to 3.5 GHz so as to minimize its use and keep temperatures low and stay with high performance
Hey man I've watched this vid a few times and from my understanding you say to not mess with Turbo Ratio limits because it can cause massive performance lost and you recommend instead lowering turbo time limits? I notice my temps get really low with turbo ratio limits tweaks but my fps suffers so much from it. TLDR : How can I lower temps using power limit controls and turbo power limits. Instead of messing with Turbo Ratio limits causing FPS loss
I would also want to know why he said that. My understanding is that there is no clear answer. He might not be Throttlestop expert but just sharing what works best for him.
Aorus 15p xc have problems with overheating and blackscreen in many games, on low/medium/high settings. Cant undervolt, cant turn on it in that program, why ?
hey i have problem, i cannot check the unlock adjustable voltage box. so i cannot adjust anything at all. how can i fix this? and whats the problem in the first place?
It could be that your laptop model or CPU has a locked voltage control, which means undervolting has been blocked by either your laptop's manufacturer or by intel. It's possible you may be able to unlock it somehow depending on the laptop though. You can try to google your laptop's model and how to undervolt it and see if anyone else online has figured out a solution.
After doing the undervolt,, do we need to always open the app when we use the computer? Or after doing this , undervolt is applied until you change the settings again ?
You'll need to launch TS every time in order for the undervolt to apply. You can make that process automatic which I show at the end of the video. If you delete Throttlestop, it'll remove your undervolt the next time you boot up
Thanks! I have a very hot laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad Y50-70 with an i7-4710HQ) and this helped me make its thermals... not as atrocious. A few notes from my experience: 1. Before increasing the undervolt, you should test the laptop in real action. I tried to undervolt the CPU by 75 mV and it seems stable in tests, but when playing PUBG I had the computer crash. 2. For some laptops, such as mine, the "Disable Turbo" option is useful and actually a game changer. My CPU throttles HARD when in turbo boost even when undervolted, so keeping it at base frequency makes the performance way more stable.
Please is it possible to undervolt Intel i5 13500H on my Lenovo LOQ laptop? I cannot click anything in FIVR, all options are grayed out. I heard that intel disabled undervolting for CPUs of 12th and 13th generation. Any idea?
it's great for my use Dell 3050 stuck at a low speed (known silly Dell condition) , now i made it run @startup folder and for my problem Dell works, in fact I got real improvement from 2.7Ghz to 3.1GHz and not fixed for ever at .79Ghz!, ok question??? how do I reopen the GUI interface as TS is already running from startup, it says "cannot open as TS already running" Is there a work around as I'd now like to see the chip temps / play with it about from auto-boot !! ? Hope this makes sense ! Thanks for this amazing program I didnt know that you could get at the CPU/clocks in that way !!!!
TS should be in your taskbar (you might have to click the little up arrow to show more open apps). If it's not there, then your TS setting might be set to not show icon in taskbar. To change that, you can close TS from task manager, reopen it, then go to options and change that setting.

I have a core i7 11700kf processor, I have appeared in the limits EDP OTHER? what does it mean ? and what should I do to remove it, oh yes, it is yellow not red
Great video! You explained the program better than anyone else. I have a question, I have a core i7-9700k CPU, by default my PL1 is 95 and PL2 is 210. Are my numbers ridiculously high? I think my CPU overheating problem is because of my high PL’s. What do you think?
@@jedi22300 I have a PC. By overheating I mean, when gaming my CPU temps easily reach 70-80c,sometimes past 90c and in very cpu intensive games even 100c! I have been using throttlestop for a couple of months and undervolting the CPU core and cache won’t do much for my temp’s, the most impacting for me is reducing the turbo ratio limits by 2,3 numbers. With this change my temp’s never go higher than 80c under max load But the downside is of course it decreases the performance a bit, so I am curious that maybe my PL1 and PL2 are the culprit?
@@parsatww7115 100c is definitely hot! Actually if it's a desktop PC, I wanna ask if you've looked at the hardware first to cool it? Desktop PCs generally have pretty good cooling. Things to consider are dusty heatsinks and fans, fans that aren't running fast enough, old/bad thermal paste, inadequate airflow (could opening the side panel improve thermals?) If it's a really cheap heatsink or whatnot, then yeah I'd say your power limit is the culprit. If your computer is overheating at 95 watts of load, then you can lower that. However again though I will say that desktops can *usually* handle more than 95w without overheating so I'd definitely look into some of the things I mentioned earlier
@@jedi22300 You have made some good suggestions, I will definitely check the fans and thermal paste,Thanks. The weird thing is, my GPU temps are excellent, I have never seen my GPU even reach 70c when overclocked and under heavy load. The only problem is the CPU, in my opinion the PC case has decent airflow because I can feel the air flowing when I look closely inside my pc lol.
If your FIVR voltage cannot be changed, your CPU voltage control may be locked by your laptop's manufacturer. You can check your PC's model online and see if anyone has come up with solutions to enable voltage controls on your laptop's model, such as through BIOS settings or flashing a different version BIOS.

I have an 11th gen (113567) and the fivr settings are all grayed out. Any fix or is it due to plundervolt and not fixable?
You sir just gained a subscriber thank you so much

no its in fact not true i disliked the video
hi, my Unlock adjustable voltage is locked. how can I unlock it? I have a Gigabyte G5 KC laptop
edit: i fixed it with insyde tool. thanks for the video
I like the way how the whole davecord viewers r just disliking the video 🤣
Thank you jedi! I have one question on running TS at startup: I have set everything as shown in the forum thread linked in the description, but I never find TS in the tray area and have to start it manually. Is it possible that, on Windows 11, there's a different procedure for running it at startup?
I'm not aware of Win 11 changing the functions of task scheduler. Have you checked if TS was maybe running in the background in task manager, but not showing up in the tray area? If TS is shown as running in the task manager, you may have unchecked the "notification area icon" option in the TS options menu.
I don't remember what I did exactly, but now I have ThrottleStop running at Windows startup and it shows in the tray area. Anyway, thank you for your time!
when talking about the power limits numbers do you mean the numbers next to clamp or in miscellaneous? My misc numbers are Min 1 and max 35 while the clamp numbers are exact as yours.
Thank you so much! My cpu used to be at 100 and now it’s at 50
Thank you a lot. As i have Acer and did have big problem with Temp did have like 88 'C was very hot now thanks to you is 70 'C it is of course a lot but better. Was curios can i lower temperature even more ? I have two more questions, first, when I made an offset voltage on Core and Cache and restarted the laptop, only these settings seemed to return to 0 and not to -70, do you know why? and when is set to Performance Mode but i don't want the speed at 3.4Ghz all the time, but let's say as a Balance little bit lower than little bit higher can i do that and how?
Just the video needed to see. Although, I think something is wrong with my CPU. Doesn't matter if I change anything on TPL, it keeps showing in "Limit Reasons" the PL2 in yellow and Thermal at the Core column after every test bench, also the the EDP Other is always showing on RING. I'm doing something wrong?
For Lenovo Legions, will Performance settings (High Performance/Balanced) override Lenovo Vantage Thermal Settings (Performance/Balance/Quite)? And will Throttlestop Performace sttings be applied at all if the first box under Performance stays unticked?
Amazing Video!
Gracias me sirvió para limitar el turbo y bajar la temperatura en un Intel i5 10300h
I don't have the box that says "Disable and lock turbo power limits". Is this located somewhere else in 2024? The process as shown still works for me, just wondering if it's something to dig more for or not.
When download it and open it says cpu not supported
What CPU do you have?
@@jedi22300 Cpu: AMD Ryzen 3 3200 With Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.60Ghz
@@Wecoxxx Unfortunately, Throttlestop only works for intel CPUs. However, you might be able to tweak some settings on ryzen with ryzen master. I'm not entirely sure though.
@@jedi22300 oh:(
what is the starting point for the offset for U series 10th gen processor?
for example my laptop I7-8550U cpu could go down to -500vm on core, but does that mean that the lower the voltage the greater the performance?
I need some help. On my Legion Y540-15IRH with an i7-9750H, I’m having thermal throttling even with -150mV for an undervolt on both the core and cache. I even tried just setting the all core to 4.0 so that none of the cores would boost higher than that, and whej I run Aida64 and Heaven benchmark (stable and doesnt crash with undervolt) I get serious throttling dropping clocks down to 3.0-3.5. CPU consistently reaches 94-100 degrees.
I’m using Throttlestop 9.5 newest, which is mostly the same except for a few things. What else can I change to get better temps?? Should I make the all core lower like 3.7GHz? Didnt mess with the TPL values, believe long PL1 is 70 and short PL2 is 107 by default
Finally understood throttlestop at last but still I got a problem on my laptop ..... I have a MSI GF65 Thin RTX 3060 i5 10500h and I did some undervolting with some videos I found from RUclips but my games keep crashing when I play them probably within 10-15 minutes during gameplay.... Can you suggest some particular reason that it happens as said?
Does it only crash if you have the undervolt applied? You can test by removing the undervolt and seeing if crashes continue.
If it only crashes with the undervolt applied, it probably means you undervolted too much
hey dude, i know its 2 years later, but i just want to ask should i touch any other profile you didnt mention like game for example, or just performance and battery profiles are good enough?
You can use the other profiles too if you want. I just tend to use the 2 I showed.
@@jedi22300 is it going to be the same setting as you mentioned or I can change my self?
Nice BG
love that animu
hey, i dont have the "enable speed shift when throttlestop starts." option in tpl i can enable the speed shift, but nothing else
Bahahah! Funny video 😳💯 thanks Jedi man!!!!!!!!
Recently (well, literally a year and a few months ago) I factory reset my laptop, after doing so undervolting has done absolutely nothing to my performance, before I was getting maybe even 3x the fps I usually get, but now there is pretty much no difference, I've seen nobody else have this problem.
Update: I have fixed the problem, I had to disable any "windows features" to do with virtuality and disable intel virtuality features in the BIOS.
Update 2: Performance has improved a lot but I get some HUGE throttling and my laptop heats up more than usual, any help?
Any updates
on update 2: try disabling Turbo Boost
How do u disable windows features and intel virtuality features?
in the FIVR above the CPU core and the CPU cache instead of saying FIVR control it says not available and i cant change any of the values for the CPU core or cache, is there a way to solve this
Does this tool change only values in windows? Or does it modify the bios/uefi?
can i set a maximum cpu clock speed and then set the voltage? if yes, how can i do it? I have an i7 10750 and I would like to maximize the clock speed to 3.5 GHz so as to minimize its use and keep temperatures low and stay with high performance
This video is great, but on TS 9.5 things are completely different and I get confused...
Definitely noted but it's a little difficult to find time to make an updated video atm 😞
@@jedi22300 totally understand, and thank you so much for having this one
Is it ok to skip TPL and not worry about the turbo boost if I got my temps down with the earlier steps, or will this screw things up?
You don't have to change the settings if yo'ure happy with the way things are!
Hey man I've watched this vid a few times and from my understanding you say to not mess with Turbo Ratio limits because it can cause massive performance lost and you recommend instead lowering turbo time limits? I notice my temps get really low with turbo ratio limits tweaks but my fps suffers so much from it. TLDR : How can I lower temps using power limit controls and turbo power limits. Instead of messing with Turbo Ratio limits causing FPS loss
I would also want to know why he said that. My understanding is that there is no clear answer. He might not be Throttlestop expert but just sharing what works best for him.
@@fanatic632 a updated video would be amazing since this video is 2 years old
@@4givenEx Yup.
Aorus 15p xc have problems with overheating and blackscreen in many games, on low/medium/high settings. Cant undervolt, cant turn on it in that program, why ?
i have a Problem with my Gigabyte G5 Mf, my GPU (RTX 4050) isnt fully utilized and i dont know what i should do. i also have a I5 12500h btw
Good content, it works for me!
hey i have problem, i cannot check the unlock adjustable voltage box. so i cannot adjust anything at all. how can i fix this? and whats the problem in the first place?
It could be that your laptop model or CPU has a locked voltage control, which means undervolting has been blocked by either your laptop's manufacturer or by intel. It's possible you may be able to unlock it somehow depending on the laptop though. You can try to google your laptop's model and how to undervolt it and see if anyone else online has figured out a solution.
Using this for GF66-11UE 11th gen CPU still Speedshift isn't available, is it because of a newer version of throttlestop. How should I proceed?
After doing the undervolt,, do we need to always open the app when we use the computer? Or after doing this , undervolt is applied until you change the settings again ?
You'll need to launch TS every time in order for the undervolt to apply. You can make that process automatic which I show at the end of the video. If you delete Throttlestop, it'll remove your undervolt the next time you boot up
It doesn't let me unlock adjustable voltage, so can someone explain how to make it let me enable it?
8:22 I only have thermal problems if the CPU is in Turbo mode, so can i just change this section and press apply?
If your CPU is overheating, then yeah I would lower the amount of power the CPU is allowed to have so it doesn't get as hot
could you elaborate on why during a TS bench test, TVB is red. Fix?
Thanks! I have a very hot laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad Y50-70 with an i7-4710HQ) and this helped me make its thermals... not as atrocious. A few notes from my experience:
1. Before increasing the undervolt, you should test the laptop in real action. I tried to undervolt the CPU by 75 mV and it seems stable in tests, but when playing PUBG I had the computer crash.
2. For some laptops, such as mine, the "Disable Turbo" option is useful and actually a game changer. My CPU throttles HARD when in turbo boost even when undervolted, so keeping it at base frequency makes the performance way more stable.
i have lenovo ideapad gaming 3 i cant unlock adjustable voltage
Please is it possible to undervolt Intel i5 13500H on my Lenovo LOQ laptop? I cannot click anything in FIVR, all options are grayed out. I heard that intel disabled undervolting for CPUs of 12th and 13th generation. Any idea?
You did the tweaks for both performance and battery, is it necessary to do for both or just performance as I mostly play games??
Nah no need to touch the battery setting if you're just gonna stay plugged in
it's great for my use Dell 3050 stuck at a low speed (known silly Dell condition) , now i made it run @startup folder and for my problem Dell works, in fact I got real improvement from 2.7Ghz to 3.1GHz and not fixed for ever at .79Ghz!, ok question??? how do I reopen the GUI interface as TS is already running from startup, it says "cannot open as TS already running" Is there a work around as I'd now like to see the chip temps / play with it about from auto-boot !! ? Hope this makes sense ! Thanks for this amazing program I didnt know that you could get at the CPU/clocks in that way !!!!
TS should be in your taskbar (you might have to click the little up arrow to show more open apps). If it's not there, then your TS setting might be set to not show icon in taskbar. To change that, you can close TS from task manager, reopen it, then go to options and change that setting.
@@jedi22300 ok great, thanks, was tired missed that flag due to 35C heat all day and defunct Honda car ... nice software with surprising results. I am buying more of these for the lab (radio) so I dont have to put up with old large noisy boxes, I'll see how I do or if this was just a one off 🙂
@@jedi22300 ok ill try that ive just upped all my PCs to windoze 10 (for free) so many things have changed as per usual, as I used legacy taskbars/start stuff before, thanks 🙂
I have a core i7 11700kf processor, I have appeared in the limits EDP OTHER? what does it mean ? and what should I do to remove it, oh yes, it is yellow not red
yeah i need this for my razorblade 16, thanks
Great video! You explained the program better than anyone else. I have a question, I have a core i7-9700k CPU, by default my PL1 is 95 and PL2 is 210.
Are my numbers ridiculously high? I think my CPU overheating problem is because of my high PL’s.
What do you think?
Is this for a laptop? and what model is it? And when you say overheating, can you elaborate on that?
@@jedi22300 I have a PC. By overheating I mean, when gaming my CPU temps easily reach 70-80c,sometimes past 90c and in very cpu intensive games even 100c!
I have been using throttlestop for a couple of months and undervolting the CPU core and cache won’t do much for my temp’s, the most impacting for me is reducing the turbo ratio limits by 2,3 numbers. With this change my temp’s never go higher than 80c under max load But the downside is of course it decreases the performance a bit, so I am curious that maybe my PL1 and PL2 are the culprit?
@@parsatww7115 100c is definitely hot! Actually if it's a desktop PC, I wanna ask if you've looked at the hardware first to cool it? Desktop PCs generally have pretty good cooling. Things to consider are dusty heatsinks and fans, fans that aren't running fast enough, old/bad thermal paste, inadequate airflow (could opening the side panel improve thermals?)
If it's a really cheap heatsink or whatnot, then yeah I'd say your power limit is the culprit. If your computer is overheating at 95 watts of load, then you can lower that. However again though I will say that desktops can *usually* handle more than 95w without overheating so I'd definitely look into some of the things I mentioned earlier
@@jedi22300 You have made some good suggestions, I will definitely check the fans and thermal paste,Thanks.
The weird thing is, my GPU temps are excellent, I have never seen my GPU even reach 70c when overclocked and under heavy load. The only problem is the CPU, in my opinion the PC case has decent airflow because I can feel the air flowing when I look closely inside my pc lol.
what if in limits i see alot of yellow bars and then EDR, PL2 and TVB blink in red then yellow ?
In the lastest version of throttlestop the Enable Speed Shift when throttlestop starts option isn't there anymore, does it change anything ?
cant check unlock adjustable voltage for some reason , could use some help
But it's still increase perfomance right?
Hey i got a question, what are the values for undervolting core i5 8300h? I'm using a Dell G7. Specs are gtx 1050 4gb vram, 16gb ram
all options in fivr locked in throttlestop, help
What to do with the system agent, Intel GPU, iGPU unslice? Other videos tell to do the same with cpu core and cache? is it safe? what does it do.
From my understanding, undervolting these makes almost no difference so I figured it was unnecessary to include
Nice video, u saved my pc whit this
cheers brotha great video innit
