The ThrottleStop Guide

Is there an intermediate guide on throttlestop? xD. I looked around, but it seems most guides out there that I can find are for TS's basic functions. I have questions like, according to most guides we should match CPU Core and CPU Cache but I've seen people that hit their ceiling at CPU cache undervolt, but keep going at CPU core. Is there a percentage range that they needed to be within one another, or I can keep undervolting the CPU as long as it has enough power to reach max FID?

I tried reading up this thread but... yeah, 1000+ pages lol.. is there a search function within a thread?

 

I have an i7-8750H which has a 45W TDP.

On the Turbo Boost Long Power Max I have it set to 55. I believe 55 was the default. When running a benchmark like Prime 95 or Cinebench the Package Power goes up to 55 whole sustaining the turbo speed of ~3.85GHz. Temps are around 80°C.

Is this bad for the CPU Package Power to exceed the TDP? Should I set the Turbo Boost Long Power Max back down to 45?

 

No one with a desktop CPU would ever worry about this. Same goes for a mobile CPU. As long as your CPU is not over heating, everything is fine. The Intel specified thermal throttling temperature is a peak core temperature of 100°C. Most laptop manufacturers lower this a few degrees to prevent a user from even hitting that number. Look on the main screen of ThrottleStop for a temperature number to the right of where it says PROCHOT. This is the thermal throttling temperature that your laptop has been set to. It is probably less than 100°C when according to Intel, it really does not need to be.

If you are only at 80°C when the package power is set to 55 Watts then I would bump it up a little more to 60 Watts to avoid any power limit throttling. If you are setting this laptop up for your granny and you are afraid that she might burn her lap, OK, in that case, leave it at 55 Watts. Over 1000 pages in this thread of people using ThrottleStop to get the most out of their CPUs and it is very rare to hear about any CPU causalities.

Top right corner has a search box. Once you click in that box, there will be some additional options to narrow your search down. Here is an example of how to search for EDP Other.



Over the years I have commented on pretty much everything so including my user name in your search might get you the info you are looking for faster. Under volting of the core and cache different amounts was just discussed on the previous page. You don't need to use the search function to find that info. When under volting the core more than the cache, do some thorough testing and prove to yourself that this adjustment is actually doing something beneficial. Too many people watch and follow YouTube videos without doing any proper testing to back up what they have just watched.

 

Cool thanks. I think I'll tweak some things tonight when I get off work. I was actually okay with the performance before tweaking but was wondering why people were getting 3000+ on Cinebench R20 when I got 2200. Finally set something I can't remember that let it stay Turbo'd more than a second.

When I get home I'm going to do a few things I read about at work like making sure idle uses no CPU %.

 

When Cinebench is running, open up Limit Reasons and watch for any boxes turning red which indicate that throttling is in progress. Also watch the ThrottleStop CPU multiplier. As long as you are not overheating, you should be able to maintain a steady 39.00 multiplier on an 8750H for the entire benchmark.

 

When I did it yesterday I got the red PL1 to stop appearing but EDP Other in yellow seems to stick around. Is there a good way to diagnose that or is it safe to ignore?

Also, if PL1 or PL2 does show up, is it just saying you're throttling down? And there's no real damage to the system?

 

Ty so much unclewebb, and ty for this amazing, essential program

 

Everything is safe to ignore. My goal when using ThrottleStop is so I can achieve maximum performance. Everyone has different goals.

Are you seeing a steady 39.00 multiplier in ThrottleStop, from start to finish, when Cinebench testing? That is a sign of zero throttling. If I owned an 8750H, that would be my goal. For some users, 95% of maximum performance is plenty good enough.

That is throttling. A decent laptop with a properly setup 8750H should be scoring a lot closer to 3000 than 2200 in Cinebench R20. I usually go to HWBOT to see how an 8750H should be running.

https://hwbot.org/submission/4206534_kill4l_cinebench___r20_core_i7_8750h_3147_marks/

Interesting that the top 2 scores for the 8750H were obtained while using ThrottleStop.

If you want EDP Other to go away, try increasing the PP0 Current Limit and the IccMax Current limits.

PL1 and PL2 lighting up in red indicates that power limit throttling is in progress. A CPU limping along will not damage your CPU.

 

Thanks for the info. I do see a steady 3.8x GHz when running several Cinebench scores.

Do you know if audio stuttering 30 min into a game like Gears of War 4 is a sign of too much undervolting?

 

i'm getting sometimes a random EDP Other warning on ring

 

Only one way to answer that question. Set your under volt back to zero. If you still get audio stuttering then your problem is probably not under volt related. If you do not get audio stuttering during this test then I guess you are under volting too much. What sort of stability testing have you done to prove that your under volt is stable? Did you do both full load and partial load testing? Both are equally important.

Try scrolling up to my previous post. There is some info there. It is not too far away. The previous page also explains how to use the Notebook Review Search feature.

RAM: 16GB

Hey I have multiple questions on throttlestop. First one is I have been getting some limit reasons, mostly when I turn on my laptop/open it from sleep. I get PL1 and BD PROCHOT under CORE and EDP OTHER under RING. Since I am not getting them while actually using the laptop I guess it is not that worrying, but I still want to know if there is an explanation and if I should try to get it to not appear.


Second one is regarding to speedsfhit. I have it set to it's default 128 since I don't know how to properly configure it and test it to get the better results. I just know it is better to have it enabled. However, I do see that under the TPL window there is another Speedshift already checked and a Min and Max boxes. The Min 1 and Max 38 are the deafult as well. Should I increase the range to max or even to include 128?


Last, I am also using Throttlestop to undervolt. Is it safe to undervolt every option(including iGPU Unslice and System Agent)? Also which of them should I be undervolting together with the same values? I have read some guides on this, but they are only undervolting CPU Core, Cache and iGPU. However, on this guide I have seen some people also undervolting Unslice and System Agent.

 

@unclewebb Micro$crewup destroy everything they touch. OS or own hardware doesn't matter. This mess will throttle whatever firmware they throw out for their thin jokes.

Thanks for posting that @Papusan
Nice to see ThrottleStop get some recognition from some of the main stream computer media sources for a change. Most of them tend to keep quiet so Dell does not cut off their ad revenue stream. As for Tom's Hardware, after racking up 18,860 Trophy points, they demoted me to Guest and banned me from answering people's questions there anymore. Sad.



@ihueco - I think I answered most of your questions on a different forum somewhere today. I think it was reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/cqdw4v/throttlestop_limit_reasons_meanings/

The max multiplier for a 7700HQ is 38. That is what the Turbo Power Limits - Speed Shift Max and range are referring to. Setting Min to 1 and Max to 38 seems appropriate. You could set this to a maximum of 255 but it is not going to change anything if the maximum multiplier your CPU supports is only 38. Any Max number from 38 to 255 should give you the same results.

Usually the Intel GPU and iGPU Unslice voltages are linked so to accomplish anything, you should be adjusting these equally. Best way to find out if this is true or not is to do some testing. Most enthusiasts are not using the iGPU for gaming so I have not done any iGPU testing. You have an Nvidia GPU so when gaming, the iGPU is probably not active. Lowering the iGPU voltage might save very little and could lead to instability.

 

@unclewebb Just saw the reddit. Thank you for the reply it was pretty clear. How about the System Agent? Should I care to undervolt that or just ignore it as well?

 

A qustion.
What are the values you set when going on battery with i7-9750h? What should be the difference between battery and usual mode? Are the values equal to ones when plugger are safe? Or I should set lower values?

Also, about the modes in throttlestop. Is there any difference between them (Performance/Gaming/Internet/Battery)? Or these are just names?

 

Hi @unclewebb my t440p has some weird tdp limit issues
i have adjusted it to not throttle but it seems to still do it, i tried everything even undervolting and it still tdp throttles.

https://imgur.com/a/N7TOBnn

 

i5-4300M is rated at a TDP of 37 W. And Package power is already reached.


Test with benchmarks and compare your results with same cpu on hwbot https://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/core_i5_4300m/

 

I understand that its reaching its package limit but i was hoping to increase it a bit so i can use the cpu at its boost clock.

 

Only you can answer that question. Do some testing and see if you can measure any improvement in heat / power consumption or performance.

ThrottleStop lets you setup 4 different profiles for different occasions, different games or whatever. You can go into the Options window and name each profile whatever you like. I prefer only setting up and using one profile. Full speed ahead.

No one knows what will be safe for your laptop. A person would have to buy 1000 laptops and test them all long term to see what is safe or not. If you think something is not safe and it is not covered by warranty or you cannot afford to buy a new one, don't do it.

@Theironlefty - Some laptops are locked down by the manufacturer. If you have tried ThrottleStop and Intel XTU and you are not able to get beyond the 37 Watt limit then there is probably nothing you can do. If your 4300M is in a socket, maybe think about heading to EBay and swap it out for a 4700MQ or similar.

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-4300m-processor-3m-cache-up-to-3-30-ghz.html
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...4700mq-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html

They are both FCPGA946 so as long as the bios supports it, this should be an easy swap. This is why @Papusan likes processors that go into sockets.

Not mentioning any names, but from now on, if I see the same question posted in 5 different forums, I probably won't answer.

 

I will try that after I get a stable GPU and CPU. I have seen posts that say System Agent has to undervolt together with iGPU and unlisce to do anything, but does it even have an effect if I don't have a Intel Graphics Card? I believe the only graphic card I have is the Nvidia dedicated and no integrated card. I don't have another graphics card showing on device manager nor dxdiag.

 

What laptop do you have?

 

ROG GL702VMK
i7 7700HQ
GTX1060
16GB RAM

 

the integrated GPU is disabled so you only have the nVidia GPU.

in throttlestop even if you undervolt the Intel GPU and iGPU Inslice it won't have any effect since the integrated GPU is disabled.

 

@unclewebb Is there any equation or process to setting the C3, C6, and C7 Interrupt Response Time Limit(s)?

I cannot recall what my Time Limits were default (i7-8750H) however they are currently (C3) 78, (C6) 118, (C7) 148 and I can enter all Package States successfully. But is this 'too low' or 'too high'? The values go to 1023 which makes me feel I'm not quite understanding how it works in general.

Thank you!

 

@4W4K3 - Your Interrupt Response Time Limit values look normal to me and are very close to the default values that my computer uses. If you really need to know what your original default values were, you would have to delete the ThrottleStop.INI config file, completely shut down and then start up and run ThrottleStop so it can read the default values from your CPU. I would temporarily rename your ThrottleStop.INI file to BackUp.INI so you do not lose your voltage settings and then you can switch back to your original INI when done testing. Do the INI file swap when ThrottleStop is not running.

The Interrupt Response Time Limit feature gave some control to what C states my 4700MQ uses but for most people, it is a useless adjustment. I tested some CPUs and it did not seem to make any difference how these were set. This feature might disappear in the future.

@ihueco - The iGPU is still physically within your 7700HQ but if it is disabled, adjusting its voltage will probably not make any significant difference. There is some confusion on forums because earlier versions of ThrottleStop were not correctly naming the voltages. That is what happens when you try to write a program without hardware or access to the full documentation from Intel.

In the latest version of ThrottleStop, try adjusting both the Intel GPU and iGPU Unslice equally. Reduce both offset voltages in big steps. -50 mV, -100 mV, -150 mV, etc. Either nothing will happen or your computer will crash. This is how you can tell if something works or not.

 

So you are telling me to go ahead and crash my laptop for science . Why is it that if I undervolt iGPU and unslice it will eventually crash even though my intel graphics is disabled?

 

@unclewebb Can I ask you a curiosity question? Why is it when I run TSBench, it took only 58W package power for my i-9750H to reach max 40 FID on all cores but it requires Cinebench R20, 70W to get it to 40 (at 55W it only reach 37 FID). Anyway, thanks to your TS and all the guides I've read here I finally got the processor running at max without any power limit/temp throttling. I'm thinking of increasing the 6 cores turbo limit higher as long as it keep the cpu under 90 degree (at 70W, it only reach 83 degree so I've some head room to play with)... but I don't know if that's actually possible. We'll see I guess

Edit: Bah it took me a min to change the turbo ratio limits to 45 and the FID won't go above 40 at 6 cores lol. I'm guessing it's locked then by Intel? I was hoping to get higher as long as I can feed it more power. Awww

The 9750h isn't overclockable, and I wasn't looking to overclock it. It can run up 4500 Mhz on a single core, but on full 6 cores will only run up to 4000 Mhz. I never did anything like this before, and was hoping the 4k limit was because of TDP limitation, and thought if I can increase its power intake it would push higher 4100 or 4200 on all 6 cores. But yeah it didn't work

 

A stupid power perhaps, I have read the basic guides and I can undervolt and set max turbo on the CPU (overclock/ underclock max turbo?) and all the basic stuff from the base guide. I am unsure however on one thing.
I have read some about underclocking the CPU. How do I do that?

For the gpu you do this by changing the core clock speed, (usually overclocking in this case).

Can this be done for a CPU, for example by lowering the base clock from 2.2 GHz. Or some setting where both core and turbo automatically is lowered by 5%.

Or Is it basically only to change the turbo limit sown from 4.1 GHz on the FVIR page or can it be done another way? Like by chaning tdp or another setting.

If someone can direct me to a link or explain this i would really appreciate it. (For a i7-850h for example. I understand that on earlier CPUs you could do that by lowering the multiplier)

 

@unclewebb shouldn't powercut work?

 

If you only knew the kind of abuse I have put my hardware through in the name of science!

That is what we do not know yet. You say your iGPU is disabled but it is possible that it is only hiding. If you drop those two voltages and it does not crash then the iGPU must be truly disabled. If you get a BSOD then I think that means the iGPU is not disabled. It is merely hiding. This is really not that important but it is always fun to learn something new. Come on. Do it for the team!

Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot about PowerCut. You have a 4th Gen CPU so this should work. PowerCut works on my 4700MQ so give it a try.

First adjust the VccIn to approximately 1.80 V and then press Apply. After that, put a check mark in the PowerCut box and hit Apply again. You should see the box to the right of PowerCut change to Enabled. In the monitoring table above that, it should show VCCIN Lock. You will need to reboot or do a Sleep - Resume cycle to unlock VccIn.

Here is an example of my 4700MQ running the TS Bench test at full load and full speed while the CPU thinks it is only consuming 3.5 Watts. No reason to throttle with power consumption that low.



@Samchanchan11 - If the ThrottleStop FIVR window shows +0 in the Turbo Overclocking box, that means you cannot increase the Turbo Ratio multipliers higher than their default values. I know the 8750H is fully locked and I assume the 9750H is locked too. You need an unlocked processor if you want to have some overclocking fun. (8950HK or 9980HK)

The TS Bench test does not use the newer AVX instructions so when it comes to power consumption, the CPU will consume far less power compared to running any stress test like Prime95 that hammers the CPU with AVX instructions.

I would like to think that the TS Bench is one of the better non-AVX tests. There is a lot of software out there that either does not use or uses very few AVX instructions so you need to be stable with this kind of load too. Users have reported that passing the TS Bench test with 0 errors is a good way to dial in their CPU voltage.

 

Aw shiet here we go again . Just to be sure, I am supposed to undervolt iGPU, Unslice and System Agent together right?

 

The System Agent is responsible for handling IO between the CPU and other domains. I wouldn't put equal undervolt as for iGPU and Unslice (those need equal undervolt). You shouldn't need touch this one. You won't see much effect aka reduced temp if you undervolt System Agent (probably no change in temp).

 

@unclewebb Yeah, Turbo overclocking box shows +0, I guess I reached the limit then. Very happy though as my Cinebench R20 go from 2700s to 3100s (my highest at 3146) just by optimizing with your TS. So, much thanks to you

 

@unclewebb Thanks a lot now it doesnt throttle, but i gotta ask is there any dangers to it being unlocked?
i have read that the VRM's on my t440p can handle 80w

 

Hello guys,

This is my third forum in which I look for help to understand what is happening with my undervolt settings Just want to understand/fix it, let me explain:

So I've been diving into CPU Undervolting for my laptop (Asus Rog Scar Strix II GL704GV - Intel 8750H) and came up with many guides and tutorials and decided to give it a try. I managed to get an steady undervolt of -75mV which translated in close-to-zero throttling under heavy load, as opposed to nearly constant throttle with no undervolting at all. I used ThrottleStop, without touching anything but the FIVR Volts for CPU Core and CPU Cache (and sometimes iGPU volts as well). I did not disable BD PROCHOT nor touched Speed Shift - EPP. Touching Speed Shift - EPP ended up in massive lose of performance in benchmarks.

The main issue though is that when I perform the undervolt, the system look stable. Tests are fine, prime can run for hours with no issue, and stress tests do not make the CPU throttle. Everything works. And then, in an irregular basis, the graphics drivers reset (the laptop screen turns black for 2 seconds and then resets, making use of the timeout specified in the TDRDelay in the registry). I am not entirely sure if the GPU drivers resetting are the iGPU ones or the RTX 2060 ones. It happenes both, playing or idling. The issue dissapears as long as the undervolt is not applied. Does any of you have experienced this issue when uv your laptop/Desktop CPU? If so, did you manage to solve it? I tried to uvolting both, the dedicated GPU and the iGPU as well but the issue persisted. It is like if the iGPU or the GPU was not receiving enough juice to process information at a time, hangs and the drivers reboot, or even it is like if the CPU got an issue and resetted the GPU drivers. The music is still playing in the background and I do not lose any information whatsoever (sometimes happened while I was playing WoW and the game resumed fine after the drivers reload).

As stated before, using Speed Shift - EPP ended up to not being able to reproduce the issue, but the performance drops massively, even worse than applying undervolt whatsoever. I can paste you the settings I've been trying with throttlestop if needed, I just didn't want to post a massive wall of info in first place!

Regards and thanks in advance Hope you can shred some light on this!

 

Beginner here, just looking for a general outline of whether or not ThrottleStop can actually be used to address my problem - I'm wondering if TS can do anything about current limiting. Specifically, in the case of prebuilt systems with fairly locked down BIOS.

Just as an example with a friend's Dell 7020 SFF with a i5-4590 and integrated graphics:

I can run 2 games simultaneously and get 4 core usage of 70-90%, 3.5ghz per core (clock max), TDP 50-60, voltage being ~1.020v - working fine.

However, running Cinebench R20 current throttling begins immediately as the 4 cores go to 100% and voltage seems to hit ~1.060v, cores drop to 3.3 and stay there, TDP won't exceed ~42, current limiting kicks in (red EDP Current on Core and Ring) at which point it won't exceed ~1.000v.

I know I can try undervolting, but I was wondering if TS could do anything beyond that in case I can't create enough headroom?

 

Tomshardware ain't as before. Nothing to be sad for. They as well as Pcworld.com is in Dell's pockets. Just look at their reviews. Almost as Scam! Remember their forum has to be equal their main webpage/website.

More info on/about ThrottleStop, the better Continue your nice work my friend.

You are right.
IGPU and unslice should be set equal. Also core and cache should be UV equal.
For my 7700hq in my MSI laptop I have the best temps when I set all igpu unslice core cache equal. Currently I have stable -85mV. But I have also set AC DC LL CALIBRATION to 1 in bios for all 4 domains. And from my observations I can see that all 4 LL calibration are working correctly with LL calibration to 1.
Also interesting find is that, that after I OCed 7700hq with BCLK on some multiplayer online games I had problems with Internet connection, I was randomly disconected due to Internet connection was lost.
But after setting System Agent AC DC LL calibration to 1 and setting VR current to 1023 all problems with wifi connection was gone with minor temp reduce.
And yes my 7700hq is handling without any issues LL calibration and UV in throttlestop.

 

Hi @unclewebb
I am about to buy a used Toshiba L300 notebook for my personal needs and it was originally manufactured with Core 2 Duo E6400 Cpu. Then the seller stated that he has replaced that Cpu with Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 Cpu which is much more faster but also supposed to run hotter with its greater core speed and TDP.

He says the Cpu runs OK without massive overheating however I am not very convinced and ThrottleStop came up to my mind if I could undervolt X9100 using FIVR option to make it run as cool as possible.

Is it possible for X9100? I am a ThrottleStop noob at this point about using FIVR, and it has many voltage offset options with radio buttons on UI starting from Cpu Core, goes with Cpu Cache etc. Which one is enough to set offset? I heard Cpu Core should get along well with Cpu Cache, is that true? Isn't only tweaking Cpu Core voltage offset itself enough to make it run cooler?

OS is Windows 7 SP1.

I hope you enlighten me.

Best regards...

 

Good news, bad news. The bad news is that the ThrottleStop FIVR option is not available when you are running ThrottleStop on a computer with a Core 2 Duo CPU. FIVR is only for the newer Core i processors.

The good news is that yes, you can use ThrottleStop on one of these old CPUs and yes you can under volt your old CPU. The great news is that you can also overclock an X9100 and make it run faster if you like. Don't worry if your CPU runs hotter. It either runs reliably or it does not. If it runs reliably then the temperature it runs at is not that important.



This user has increased the voltage so he can overclock. His CPU is running faster than default.

For your CPU it should be simple. Put a check mark in the Set Multiplier box and there is a voltage box beneath that so you can lower the voltage. To overclock, there will be an Unlock button lower down. Click on that box and then you can adjust your CPU multiplier as high as you like. The secret is to always adjust your voltage first before you adjust the multiplier. You should also use the Windows High performance power profile when using ThrottleStop on these old CPUs. Post some pics if you need help.

ThrottleStop allows you to increase the Current Limit as long as Dell did not lock it. Click on the TPL button and increase the PP0 Current Limit if that is possible.

If this does not solve your problem then try using PowerCut. This was just explained on the previous page for another user with a 4th Gen CPU.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-throttlestop-guide.531329/page-1039#post-10942594

Something is wrong. When Speed Shift EPP is setup and working correctly there should be no loss in performance. Start posting pictures, lots of pictures. Show me how you have ThrottleStop setup. There are too many settings for me to start guessing. Run the ThrottleStop Log File while gaming so I can see a record of your loss in performance. Exit ThrottleStop when finished gaming so it can finalize the log file and then copy and paste the log file data to www.pastebin.com and post a link.

If you are having problems with the GPU driver resetting, this is likely the Nvidia GPU that is having the problem. Do not undervolt either the Nvidia GPU or Intel GPU until you figure out this stability problem. Might be a bad driver or a crappy GPU.

 

Are you sure about this? I have seen some people being able to undervolt cache more than core.

 

Yeah, mostly because they follow some youtubers or some tech sites where guys that made some testings of laptops and doing UV don't know what they are doing.

I am not saying that in some cases UV core more than cache is not doing anything but in most of cases, I would say 95% laptop will be using UV from cache value.
I personaly can set UV for core arround twice lower then cache but it does mostly nothing beacuse as I say most of time laptop will be using cache UV.
If you want to see some significant reduce in temps you should take some time to find stable and equal core and cache.

UV cache made significant reduces in temps, and that is way I have fun while reading some laptop reviews where reviewers are using XTU to UV laptop and they are setting -120mV or - 150mV for core and leaving cache default value without UV, then they are doing stress test and they are seing temp reduce of 1C which is for F***'s sake temp reading error or just some tasks from windows stoped working which reduced overal wattage for 1W.
I am seeing this mostly accros all test laptops with all cpus from 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th gen laptop tests.

 

In my case (8750h with 1050ti laptop), anything over -140mv with balanced mode for intel graphic plan for cache would either crash my iGPU or experience weird display glitches. I use -160 on core and the overall temperatures and power consumption seems to be slightly better than having them both set equal. This is just my observation after playing few games and running some cpu intensive tasks. When I set intel power plan to maximum performance, then I can undervolt them equally, but I didn't find any major difference.

 

I'd be so glad to get more help by sending images here when I get the notebook. Many thanks @unclewebb .

However forgive me, is Tornado something different from ThrottleStop? I didn't even know Tornado, is it your another tool? Download location?

Sorry for noob questions as I wanted to make sure.

 

Alright, but I said undervolt cache more than core. So, if I can undervolt cache more, then I'm good to go.

 

Test both ways. Only testing will give you the results you hope for. ThrottleStop have own benchmarks. Use it in your testing.

 

Sorry I missread you
If you go with cache more than core you are good to go, but try set this equal, because if your cpu can handle higher cpu cache than core, it should also handle the same UV

 

I can't find were I was told to UV cache more than core but rn I have to settle at 125 UV. I UV both at the same time and more than that crashes my laptop. I will start to increase individually and see how it goes.

 

Hey guys, been digging around for information about 8th gen intel thinkpads and throttlestop and haven't seen a whole lot. Like others in this thread it's the WHEA uncorrectable error (which has been mentioned) in this thread. I haven't had much luck getting this to behave itself with my T480 (8th gen i5) or X1 Yoga 3rd gen (8th gen i7) to stick and behave themselves when using the throttlestop guide. My question is, the guide was made with skylake in mind for recommended offsets and I am not using it for skylake. Will the same strategies mentioned in the guide still apply?

For example:
GPU -50mv
Cpu Core and Cache need the same offset.

Thanks
