I use balanced setting always i.e 128 and in battery mode 200.![]()

128 never reaches max turbo speeds. You have to go 102 to start hitting max turbo on my skylake.

By the way, I always use EPP 0 or High Performance windows profile.

Have you noticed this @unclewebb ? Is there an explanation?
Try exiting the XTU Systray app, as it has a monitoring tool that draws CPU as well. After booting I exit the XTU Systray app unless I am going to do tuning.Last edited: Jul 17, 2017 -
I always wondered, how does xtu save the undervolt values even after a reboot on locked HQ chips.

You set a value, Apply the value, then Save a Named Profile with the tuning. That way you can have several profiles and select between them.
XTU loads the last selected profile at each boot and applies it for you.
If you crash, XTU will notice this and it will not load the profile at next boot - just in case it was a setting in that profile that caused the instability.
XTU doesn't know if that's true, but it makes sure that you don't get stuck in a boot / crash loop
Even an unrelated crash will be noticed by XTU at next boot it won't load a profile.
You just need to go into XTU, select a profile, Apply it, and XTU will load that Profile at the next boot - and keep doing that until you crash.Vasudev likes this. -
Yes I have tried it once but changed to TS after noticing XTU modified even the default profile with my undervolt settings.

The default profile can't save changes, that's the whole point of the default profile.
You need to not only select the Default Profile, you need to Apply it before the profile settings are... applied
Otherwise the current settings will continue to persist, until you Apply new ones, either set manually or loaded from a Profile.Vasudev likes this. -
It is a known bug reporter by several people. I opened XTU and the default profile had my undervolt values. Since then I never installed XtU.

I'd try creating my own "default" profile - obviously with a different name - and use that to load safe settings for doing work.
After you find stable settings for undervolt and multipliers (if you have such a CPU) you won't need to rely on "default" any longer.

XTU didn't kill any screens, but had been long term using / overwriting / clearing an area of the BIOS reserved for use that AW was taking over - pretty sure it was their mistake. I think XTU fixed that by moving to another region(?).
So far in the almost 7 years I have been using XTU, started with the Xtreme Edition desktop CPU's, I haven't had any bugs that killed my laptop, boot looped, or otherwise was a problem other than backing up to a previous version when XTU messed up a release.
I think the weirdest thing was there was a release of XTU that required installation As Administrator, but it only need it for one release version
Then again, I'm not on Windows 10, all the Windows 7/8.1 bugs are long resolved, same for everything else, just Smooooth sailing all day longLast edited: Jul 17, 2017Papusan likes this. -

Linux should do it during the initial kernel loading - very early on - much earlier than Windows.Vasudev likes this. -
Damn, did anyone notice this odd clock frequency bug. I'm scratching my head right now. I need more testing to do, eventually if I don't notice this bug on older ucode then maybe I need to take down the ucode link and the guide needs to be edited.

Temporarily switched to older microcode 9E. Cinebench scores are back to normal.

HWiNFO has some delay which I hate using it in a daily basis.

Performance improvements and 2C cooler CPU after uCode update. The update works best if done through Safe Mode w/ Networking.
On HT bug uCode 9E: Windows Balanced Power Saver Without undervolt
After uCode updating fixing HT bug: Windows High Performance Power Plan with undervolt -120mV.

(idle temp)
Unlike before...I set clock speed to lowest as possible and undervolted to -0.080V...
(idle temp) but still hot as hell!
I'm now a happy man achieving this temp with my laptop.Last edited: Jul 18, 2017hmscott likes this. -
@hmscott @Midas Touch @Papusan @THEBOSS619 :
An update: I installed the latest uCOde on my older Pentium 2020m and somewhat newer Broadwell 5200U there was noticeable performance boost. So everyone can apply newer uCode regardless of PC's age.6.|THE|1|BOSS|.9, Beemo, Papusan and 1 other person like this. -

I can't see the big difference. All is within errors.
