The ThrottleStop Guide

But you have 3.6GHz only for one core? Or did you find some magic we don't know
I know that I think haswel hq multiplier could be unlocked by some microcode tweak. But for Sky and kaby there is no way for doing that?
Sky and kaby hq frequency can only be moded by bclk, but There is no way to Force Max frequency on all cores from what i know?

Also if someone can explain me this settings in bios and their impact on performance:
Hardware duty cycling ( enable/disable )
race to halt (enable/disable)
energy efficient turbo (enable/disable)
energy efficient P state (enable/disable)
and what is RSR aka residancy state regulation.
I tried some Google but maybe someone can explain more and the impact on performance.
Thanks

 

Yes I can force it to go over 3.6Ghz but for that I need to OC my Ram over 2400Mhz to get over 3.6Ghz only in single core speed... the point that I reached to this conclusion is when I go past 2400Mhz RAM speed (for example 2666Mhz) I can OC my turbo ratio frequency to over 3.8Ghz of CPU single core speed but it is far too unstable due to my RAM is not even made to be OC'ed that much I can't even open file explorer without my windows gets corrupted due to RAM is working over there limit too far but I have my backup ready and set
By the way my cheap RAMs default advertised speed is 2133Mhz

About bios settings... I only know the first one... HDC ( Hardware Duty Cycling) its goal is to make CPU more power saving... read my posts starting from here.. and you will understand
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-throttlestop-guide.531329/page-902#post-10804607

Other settings I really have no idea... I was stuck at the same position as you in the past when I unlocked my own BIOS for the first time... the only thing to know about those settings is to test & try.... and observe the difference.. this is the only way

You also need some deep knowledge for your own laptop specifically because every laptop has there own thing and there own setting even there own terminology of settings

And I honestly recommend to try and test... this is the meaning of adventure like I did...

 

Wwwwwait what?

How did you force 3.8 GHz on one core on 6700hq.
This mean you could do around 3.4-3.5GHz on all cores on 6700hq?
Do you mean you have gain access to Control cpu mulipliers or you find a way to go past 103%bclk?
Or I missunderstood you?

 

Hex editing it took me around 3~4 weeks to learn and figure out what I am trying to do.... how to get around this limit but for unknown reasons it depends on RAM speed and quality of RAM... because the higher the quality of RAM... the higher I can OC RAM = the higher I can OC my single cpu core speed Internet is a bless...

Don't get too excited because I only figured to unlock the single core frequency but not when using 2 cores or 3 cores or 4 cores and also it is not stable at all... I mean I can barely open Windows while it is being corrupted aggressively I only saw it twice when I quickly (right click) on the taskbar to open Task Manager and see my CPU single core go to 3.8Ghz (it was a dream came true) after that Windows go nuts and need to restore my back up and everything...

I need to wait for the RAM prices to go down so that I could bring a future proof RAM & at the same time get it working on my poor gaming laptop which it is begging me to stop tweaking & messing around

Hex editing is awesome... I also managed to tweak a VBIOS for one of the NBR Members after several tryings and failure... but at the end I won the fight and I successfully did it at the end

Before I bought my 8705G laptop, I wasn't sure about its CPU and GPU OC ability. Only one post on reddit claimed that CPU is unlocked. Some Intel webpages say it's locked but others say its unlocked. Now I got my laptop, I can confirm it's CPU is unlocked. GPU is locked but you can modify registry to change clock and voltage. Unlocked laptop CPU in a $1200 laptop lol.

 

How am I supposed to sleep at night? You say stuff like this without sharing any ThrottleStop pictures.
My brain just went into overdrive!

 

@6.|THE|1|BOSS|.9 Can you be more specific on which value changed? Are there any references online that explain the method that you used?

The only thing we can see from the screenshot is blk to 102.6.
If you increase the blk, you will end overclocking everything, including the ram.

Did you change the value of blk further or did you manage to set a custom multiplier for the CPU?

 

Using throttlestop, it seems like that I can't break the 4.1GHz barrier. OC 2 core to 4.1GHz works fine. Cannot verify 4 core OC because trash HP cooling design.

Using XTU, I can break the 4.1GHz barrier but thermal throttle causing it can't reach 4.3GHz. Anyways I guess throttlestop doesn't fully support Kabylake-G?

During the testing, start/stop TS bench will cause the temperature to switch instantly between 50ish to 97. I don't even know how could the temperature change so fast.

After the short 1 year warranty ends, I'll take it apart, repaste CPU GPU, and add some Fujipoly XR-m onto the VRMs. That's all I can do to improve cooling. XPS version has much better cooling but soldered ram and doubled price force me to buy HP.

HP BIOS's microcode isn't compatible with 1809 update and after 4 months there is still no official response yet. HP even lists this as compatible for 1809 on their website. Some friendly HP employee on reddit said that BIOS update is coming on Feb 11. MSI X99 motherboards and one Asus laptop also have the issue but they get BIOS update much faster.

 

Could you post some of your magic about your hex mod? What values did you change? Or maybe private message if you dont want to post it here. Because if it is possible to do it on one core there is probably a possibility to do it on all cores and some gurus might help. And if 6700hq can do it, then probably 7700hq also.
For sure I know that 7920hq on MSI titan which is locked procesor have the possibility to be OCed as MSI made this possible. Max allowed by MSI multiplier is i think 43 or 45 and I think that also 7820hq (locked) can be tweaked to max muliplier 41 or 43 if remember correctly and by default it has mulipliers 39.
So maybe 7700hq could do 4-4.1 GHz on one core and 3.6-3.7 on all with some hex mod +bclk

Did you hexed bios or me FW or microcode.
Because if it is ucode maybe there is possibility to test that with the ucode load using ucode driver

 

Make sure you don't wait too long. High end ram is usually out of stock when the market shifts to newer standard. The best DDR4 SO-DIMM should be GSkill ones. 8gb stick can reach 4000MHz while 16gb can reach 3200MHz. They claimed to be B-die so these should be the best.

 

ThrottleStop is causing a high pitched sound coming from laptop.
Model: Dell Inspiron 17 5759.
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2501 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)


hey there. i was hoping to get some help.
im using throttlestop, because dell is set to throttle the pc if a non origional battery or charger is being used. (never want to buy a dell again!)

ive noticed a high pitched squeek coming from the laptop (the squeek comes and goes but is really annoying) when throttlestop is running. if i reclick on bdProchot, the squeek goes away but then my perfomance obviously dives back down and throttles again..

Heres my settings, any ideas please?

 

A couple of users on the TPU forum are telling me that ThrottleStop is randomly turning off on them. ThrottleStop runs fine for me for days and weeks at a time. Both of them have Razer Blade 15 2018 laptops. Anyone else having this problem?

Can you try rebooting, and after you boot up, do not run XTU. Instead, try using the ThrottleStop FIVR - Disable and Lock Turbo Power Limits feature. I seem to remember some magic code hiding in this feature that might help you fix this maximum multiplier problem you are having.

ThrottleStop shows that the 8705G is not a completely unlocked CPU. It is not a K series CPU but it does support +6 bins of overclocking which is pretty damn good for a laptop CPU.

For Current Limit throttling problems (EDP Other), go into the TPL window and try adjusting the PP0 Current Limit higher if it is unlocked. You can also try increasing the FIVR IccMax values.

Some laptops have coil whine issues. Your problem sounds like that. Sometimes enabling C1E can help with this problem. You can also try adjusting the Speed Shift - EPP value. Your screenshot shows that this is set to 0 which is the setting for maximum performance. A setting of between 80 and 128 might give you excellent performance while allowing the CPU to slow down when lightly loaded. This might help reduce the noise you are hearing. This is a sign of poor design and a company getting cheap with electrical components inside their laptops.

No need to have the old school Power Saver box checked. You can click on the Set Multiplier box to unlock the Power Saver box and then click on Power Saver to clear this box. After that, clear the Set Multiplier box because you do not need that checked when you are using Speed Shift.

With Speed Shift enabled, try adjusting the Speed Shift Min and Max values in the TPL window.

 

@unclewebb - Could i please have you TS image from TPL, FIVR, SETTING and main screen? I would just like to compare.

 

I do not own an 8750K so there is not much to compare to.

When you flick a switch and let a pile of amps flow through a tiny CPU that is as big as your finger nail, the peak core temperature will shoot up instantly. Desktop computers use large heatsinks, laptops do not. Try wrapping some wires around the end of your finger and then plug it into an electrical wall socket. Similar effect. Just kidding. Do not do this at home!

 

Thanks so much for your time and effort !
what am i looking for when adjusting the speed shift min and max values in tpl? to just tweak them both in increments and see what gives me the best speeds?

 

I had the problem of throttlestop being terminated but it was my fault.
When setting ThrottleStop to start at boot in TaskScheduler, I didn't notice that the default settings force the process to be terminated when you are on battery.

 

I managed through custom multiplier and hexed the BIOS (no need to mess with ME FW unless you want BCLK OC) the idea all started when using the RU hex editor from the PDF file that I attached it on this post I was searching for any kind nearing to the meaning of [Turbo],[Ratio],[CPU Flex],etc... it took me alot of experiments and dead bricked my laptop over 100 times just to get to what I want... and I'm really sorry but I couldn't even remember what I did when I got it to stick to 3.8GHz on single core only... I was editing too many things at the same time and trying many different combinations until I got it.. and of course in order to get into the windows.. I must reflash my BIOS to work the problem here is.... it is not available or visible when I enter BIOS settings because it is not there.. but it is there when hex editing... I have my bios file with custom multiplier is applied saved into my external HDD just for the future use when I buy a new RAM to experiment more if you want it.. let me know and look into it by your self

Thank you! I am already aiming for GSkill RAM new set after researching alot but although I see most high end DDR4 sodimm rams getting out of stock.. the ones who are still in limited stock have high prices so... I might wait for a little while until those prices get lower unless you see some RAM with reasonable price I might not know about

 

If you only change some hex value, maybe MSI laptop can do it in BIOS. Once you use the key combination to unlock additional menu, there is overclock menu but I haven't try that yet.
GSkill DDR4 3200 ones were out of stock for quite a long time. I was worried that they are forever gone but luckily they are back in stock now. Still patiently waiting for 32GB single stick though. IMO double the capacity means much more than some OC.

 

I would be very please if you could post your stock and moded bios so I could compare them.
Thank you very much

 

I don't even have Overclock menu because my laptop line-up model doesn't have unlocked CPU so.. my BIOS is made purely for locked CPU's without 'K' MSI laptop in general have many different configuration for the same model of the laptop so... that means when you look inside the BIOS... you will find the Overclock menu to all MSI laptop models even if the laptop have a non K cpu or locked down CPU from Intel

because this is the least time consuming for the OEM's

Thanks for RAM information.. you seem you are up-to-date with how RAM marketing goes & shifts I am also aiming for a (2x16 GB) RAM an upgrade from my currently cheap poor 2133Mhz (2x8GB) RAM but I also want some OC so that I upgrade from capacity point of view and also upgrade from RAM speed point of view I just wanted to hit two birds with one rock

but the prices is too high & ridiculous

 

The stock BIOS is here
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/GL552VX/GL552VXAS300.zip

and my Modded BIOS + Hexed is here...

If you got into issues or stuck into something... I will try my best and help you when I ever I can

 

Maybe you should take a look at the new 32GB single SODIMM. It's 2666MHz and comes directly from Samsung so I guess the overclocking potential should be close to the best. The problem is the price is still pretty high about $320 for 32GB and higher capacity means more difficult overclocking.

 

Ok so a few things learned after the test.

All tests done using single core OC because this only triggers thermal throttle after about 30 seconds.

At first I used disable and lock turbo limits feature, it works for 4.2GHz but won't go higher.

Then I start using XTU. After I apply the XTU setting, it will be effective for about 10 seconds but then it will go back to stock. I feel like it's conflicting with Throttlestop. During the XTU tests, Throttlestop is in off state (green icon) and FIVR window remain at stock settings. The best I can achieve is about 4.55GHz then thermal throttle kicks in.

Gotta wait for repaste and I'm thinking about getting two blower fan type laptop coolers. They work wonderfully on my old laptops. I tried putting laptop in the fridge but obviously that's uesless. HP fan curve is really weird. AFAIK GPU temperature has a much higher weight than CPU. For example when GPU is under heavy load, sometimes the CPU will throttle down to 0.77GHz for extended period of time. And when I'm overclocking the CPU, the fan barely runs. Wish there is fan control software to manually override.

Just for fun, I set 1/2/3/4 cores to max 4.7/4.5/4.4/4.3 in XTU. 4 core stress testing bounces between 3.9 and 4.1. Mostly thermal throttle but sometimes current throttle. I guess Intel binned some of the best Kabylake silicone for Kabylake-G. 8705G has same clock as 7920HQ and 8809G tops at 4.2GHz.

On the other hand, the supposed to be more open AMD locks the Vega M in BIOS. Can't over/under clock/voltage through any tools. The only solution is modifying registry powerplay table.

 

First start by adjusting the Speed Shift EPP value. Does setting this to 128 on the main screen help with the noise problem? The Speed Shift Min and Max values can help limit the minimum and maximum CPU speed. I thought this might be another way to limit the CPU noise.

I know about the ThrottleStop terminating problem when the Task Scheduler is not setup correctly. The Razor owners that contacted me say that even when they manually start ThrottleStop, it randomly stops running. That makes no sense to me.

When you were testing with just ThrottleStop, did you adjust the ThrottleStop Turbo Ratio Limits and check the Overclock box? Did you adjust the Speed Shift Max value up to 47?

If you can only hit the 42 multiplier, something is not right. If you start up XTU and adjust the Turbo Ratios in XTU, if ThrottleStop is also running, ThrottleStop will override the XTU settings so you need to make sure that the ThrottleStop Turbo Ratios are set at least as high as XTU. If you are still having problems, try opening up the Limit Reasons box while running a single thread of the TS Bench test. Maybe something is causing throttling.

 

Yes I adjusted single core ratio to 47, checked the overclock box, and checked disable and lock turbo limits feature. Didn't know that I need to change speedshift max value. I'll try it later.

When just doing single core OC, only thermal throttle kicks in and I still have enough time to see the frequency change.

 

It's a super pleasant surprise that the 8705G is 'secretly' overclockable. It's like that in the XPS 15 2-in-1 too.

Quickly rising CPU temperature suggests low thermal mass to sink the heat. This can be the effect of very tiny heatsinks, or more likely in your case, bad contact between your die and heatsink, because of low mounting pressure. The XPS 9575 has this problem too. The fact that both of these are Kaby Lake G makes me suspect that the CPU and GPU chips have some height difference. Or it could be just a coincidence that both of these laptops have weak heatsink mounting feet. I would suggest applying some pressure on top of the heatsink base plate like u/cookieMD did in the above hyperlink.

 

Got everything working.
Adjust turbo ratio, check the overclock box, checked disable and lock turbo limits feature, and change speedshift max value.
Everything works for 1 or 2 cores. 4 cores instantly triggers thermal throttle.

 

Thanks for the link. Never know there is a detailed thread about 8705G OC. I only know it's overclock-able from one reply in another Dell XPS post. Still need to figure out how to undervolt the GPU though.
Regarding the cooling issue, I think adding pressure is sort of risky. On desktop Vega, applying to much mounting pressure can cause serious issue. IIRC it's the HBM2 that's quite sensitive to this. My plan is to put 0.5mm or more Fujipoly XR-m on top of mine heat pipe. Still gotta wait until the end of the warranty. The QC on these HP laptops are so bad that you won't even believe it. My first one was DOA. The internal screen is not connected to the motherboard. How could that even pass any test! After the warranty period, it's time to modify everything XD, and there is still credit card extra 2 years warranty to backup.

 

A few CPU-Z benchmarks and the result is crazy. Result is single core 520 points ish, about 105% of stock 7700k. Multi core 2220 ish, about 85% of stock 7700k. Surprisingly my score is higher than the XPS one even though
1. Stock paste vs Liquid Metal
2.Worse cooling module compare to XPS
3. Fan barely turned on
4. No undervolt

Getting to excited now. I need to calm down before starting a fire lol.

 

I picked that option and it still doesn't help. While I ran the benchmark, the TDP consistently stayed at 25 watt and likewise the speed was at 3ghz. Even if it was staying at around 2.4ghz, that would be more than enough for me. Is there anything I can do at this stage?

 

I have used ThrottleStop on several computers to obtain a working fix for a USB problem (high speed camera not getting full frame rates due to throttling) for several years and it has worked awesome. I recently purchased a new computer and can't get ThrottleStop to run on it. I keep getting the message that mfc120u.dll is missing. I installed Microsoft Visual Studio and verified that the file is in my c:/windows/system32 folder but the problem persists. Any thoughts? The only significant difference I can think about this machine is it does have windows 10 pro whereas the others have all had the home version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming your system is 64 bit, then you need to install both 32 and 64 bit Visual C++ packages.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4032938/update-for-visual-c-2013-redistributable-package

 

Thanks Papusan & Kers. I think that the full package for both 32 and 64 bit was the missing piece. Got it working now.

 

@Kers - Thanks for the pics. Great to see a ThrottleStop reported multiplier of 46.89. That is about as close to the theoretical 47 multiplier for 1 core active as one can hope to get.

Kind of sad when Intel lists the 8705G as having a 65W Package TDP yet your pics show your CPU thermal throttling at only 35W.
https://ark.intel.com/products/1304...X-Vega-M-GL-graphics-8M-Cache-up-to-4-10-GHz-

What was HP thinking? They should have included an extra 50 cents in the heatsink budget. That way they could have melted up a roll of 1 cent coins into a more suitable and robust heatsink.

That is about as good as it is going to get. It is rated at 15 Watts. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

Lowering the CPU Core and CPU Cache voltage (undervolting) will reduce power consumption. This will allow the CPU to run faster within its power budget.

 

The 35W is caused by thermal throttling. Turbo long/short limit is 45/56W. Perfectly fine reaching those number if the temperature isn't that high. The problem is CPU part has 45W as turbo long limit and GPU part has 50W TDP. When both are under loads, HP (IIRC Dell/Intel NUC too) gives priority to GPU and throttle CPU. On 8809G NUC, the problem doesn't exist as it has 100W total TDP.

HP's only throttle annoyance is that when GPU is over about 57 degrees, CPU will get throttled to 0.77GHz and stay there for extended period of time. Also HP won't allow me to change the fan speed manually. When CPU is 99 degrees, the fan is on low setting lol. Only GPU load can trigger it to medium or high settings. I'm trying to fix this with https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc but I can't extract the DSDT. Don't have the time to do experiment yet.

Regarding the heat sink issue, I would say it's both HP and Intel's problem. HP's heat sink for 8705G is much worse than Dell's design. They learned their lesson and fixed this in latest gen spectre. They increased thickness of the laptop to accommodate larger heat sink for 8750H+1050Ti. From the XPS reddit post, apparently Intel's design of the socket mount is not applying enough pressure on the heat sink. I guess it's because it's easy to break the HBM chip or the interposer so they took the safer route. There are a few cases on desktop Vega/Fury where repasting/reinstalling heatsink breaks the card.

Also I think both Dell and HP slap some thermal insulation tape to achieve low surface temperatures. Sounds ridiculous to me.

 

Now that I have ThrottleStop running ok on my new laptop, I'm hoping for a bit more help if you don't mind giving pointers to someone who is low on the technical skill end of the spectrum.

I am using my laptops to control high speed USB 3.0/3.1 cameras. I get full speed capture on a different laptop that I set to dual boot Win 8.1 and Win 10 if I am in Windows 8.1. In Windows 10, I didn't get full capture speed, then windows released an update that allowed full capture, now I am back to getting < 50% of my frames after another update. I'm sure it is related to those stupid generic Microsoft Drivers because MS won't pay intel for their drivers any more after Win8 although I could be wrong there.

On the machine that I just got which only has Win10 and won't support Win8.1 because it is an 8th generation i7, my hope is to get Throttlestop to prevent any speed throttling that I suspect is causing the USB connected camera to miss frames (I am guessing the voltage is dropping as part of Microsoft's neverending effort to push battery life longer at the expense of performance). On this machine, I have the ability to turn on SpeedStep in the bios firmware (it is off by default). I experimented with it on as well as off with no difference. Anyone have any experience on settings to maximize USB power/data transfer within ThrottleStop? I understand the general ideas of what ThrottleStop is doing, but not the specifics and I'm not eager to start shifting settings around and either get a blue screen or cook my engine.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

A few weeks ago I purchased a new HP Pavilion computer that has an 8300-H cpu
I use throttlestop to reduce the temperatures of the cpu

but unfortunately throttlestop does not take me values Offset voltage higher than -130 mV With Intel XTU I can apply higher values like -180mV being still stable for my cpu and reducing somewhat more the temperature

Simply using higher values of -130mV throttlestop does not apply voltage reduction




for example when putting a value that is higher than -130mV as for example a value -350mV no change is appreciated because no value higher than -130mV is applied




I do not know if it is some kind of throttlestop restriction or some kind of bug with the cpu 8300h that I hope will be corrected in next versions, Thanks for this great utility.

 

I don't have 8 gen CPU but IIRC the CPU will use Core or Cache voltage depends on which one is higher. Also when testing stability, stress both CPU and GPU because heavy load will cause voltage drop. You may pass CPU only stress but not going to pass combined stress test.

 

I have a same problem.
More than -0.180 mv does not apply.

My CPU is 8750H.

 

@ unclewebb, hello.
A few weeks ago we talked about that TS cannt apply multiplier after hibernate mode on DELL XPS 15 9570 i7 8750.
You want to try a special version of TS.

 

@DoubleLTrain - Try enabling Speed Shift. If your bios does not have this setting then use ThrottleStop to enable Speed Shift. It is in the TPL window. After you do this, on the main screen, you can adjust the Speed Shift EPP value. A low value of 0 will give you maximum performance.

@user2123 and @Cooler-master - When using Intel XTU, it applies the CPU Core and CPU Cache offset voltages equally. Have you tried doing this? Some users with some CPUs have had some success by setting them differently but I have not done any testing of this. Set them equally and the voltage should be applied.

It is on the things to do list but I have not got around to it yet.

 

My guess is Speedshift value. You can change it using windows performance slider or ThrottleStop.
Windows 8/8.1/10 are pretty much the same system at lower level. MS and Intel basically force everyone to upgrade to Windows 10 while AMD still provides Windows 7 drivers.

 

@unclewebb adjust the two voltages equal to worked for me, Thank you very much

 

A much better thing to do than just insulating that heat would be to spread it wide. Instead of putting something like GORE-Tex, use graphite sheets to get diffuse the hot spot. Also, use aluminum chassis instead of plastic or carbon fiber. Adjusted for same performance, aluminum chassis would have lower peak surface temperature. Adjusted for the same surface temperature, aluminum chassis would permit more performance. Because of its higher thermal conductivity and specific heat. Also, its higher rigidity would free up more internal thickness for cooling and whatever else.

I covered the inside of my MateBook X Pro's chassis with graphite sheet and got very nice results:
Before:

After:

 

Just finished reading your modification. Wondering why did you put graphite sheet on the chassis and thermal pad on keyboard side? Won't the thermal pad touch the chassis by itself?

 

@unclewebb I don't know if it's a bug or not but when I restart the laptop and open ThrottleStop, the overclock is not automatically applied. I need to open FIVR window and press OK to enable overclock.

 

@Kers - Are you using the Task Scheduler to start ThrottleStop? Are you using Windows 10 1803 or 1809? Do you have Intel XTU installed and is it starting up with Windows? Is the Windows 10 Fast startup option enabled? Can you post a screenshot of your FIVR window?

To troubleshoot this, I would start by shutting down Windows. In the Start menu, hold the Shift key down and then select the Shut down menu option to force Windows to do a complete shutdown and not a hybrid shutdown.

When Windows boots up and ThrottleStop starts, is the overclock applied? Do you need to press OK in the FIVR window to apply it?

When you have your overclock working correctly, does Sleep mode work correctly and is your overclock applied after resuming? Test this for Hibernate and also try to reboot to see if any of these work correctly.

A couple of other users have reported similar problems so I am starting to wonder if something in Windows has changed recently. I am using Windows 10 1803 on multiple computers and when I start up, reboot, resume from sleep or resume from hibernate; ThrottleStop always applies the voltages and my overclock correctly. That is how things are supposed to work.

As a temporary work around, if I mainly used one profile, I would try setting up a ThrottleStop keyboard shortcut. This might be an easier way to force ThrottleStop to apply your overclock without having to open up the user interface.

 

Starting ThrottleStop manually
Windows 10 1803
XTU installed before but uninstalled now
Fast startup enabled


After complete shutdown with shift button, the overclock still won't apply after system boots and throttlestop opens.
Sleep disables overclock.
No hibernate option on my laptop.

 

@Kers - Are you using Speed Shift? Is the Speed Shift Max multiplier setup correctly in the TPL window? Is the Enable Speed Shift when ThrottleStop starts option selected?

Are you planning to use ThrottleStop to under volt?

Thanks for the screenshot. That will give me something to test tomorrow.
