Hi! I come here to get help! I've a lenovo ideapad 520 with intel i5-8250U and GPU is mx150. I like playing csgo but the cpu temp was too hard when I set fps too high ( this game can lock fps with the console when you enable develop mode) but when fps I lock 60fps, the cpu temp was good ( around 60-70 degree). I used throttlestop and set volt offset for my cpu is -90.8 mV and set the speedshift is 170. But I changed lots of times setting in throttlestop but when in game cpu always got 70-80 degree and the fps was not so good. Here is a video that have same my laptop, his cou and fps was so good! ( can post the link, please search on youtube play csgo intel core i5-8250u mx150) .So, someone can help me fix this?! Or maybe I just can play 60fps on my lap?

Hi,
How do you undervolt a laptop GPUs with 2 GPU's on the motherboard (an intel and nvidia gpu).
How do you proceed?
f.ex. Do you have to check the NVIDIA checkbox, even if there is a second Intel GPU inside etc?

Thanks for any help!

I have used throttle stop to under volt my laptop cpu and to disable the thermal throttling. It works great however it changed my laptop's power consumption. Instead of drawing the normal 6watts doing nothing it uses 13 or 14 watts. Even after uninstalling y laptop is still like this, the only solution i have found is getting a fresh start on windows.

Great guide -- very easy to follow along with and implement.

I'm now getting much better performance from my Lenovo Flex 5.

Thank you!

Hey guys,
i used XTU before and then i tried throttlestop. Before i tried Throttlestop i set everything on default at XTU, but unfortunatly i forgot to deinstall XTU. When i now start XTU it says that de default value of the CPU is -89, thats where i put it in throttelstop.
Will this cause any damage now, should i still deinstall XTU?
Thanks in advance

Can someone please either advise here, or possibly the Author could update his article, to explain the ICCMax usage? I mean I've googled it but still have limited awareness of the preferred settings...

Despite it's a very informative article, for me full procedure is still unclear.
For my scenario I'd like to start undervolting only while gaming, so that I thought I can create a UV profile and launch TS only when needed (actually associated to a profile of Dragon center of my MSI). How to achieve this?
Doubts:
1) Playing with FIVR values and pressing "ok - save voltages immediately" will take effect if you don't have pressed "Turn on"?
2) Once you press "Turn on", what "Turn off" does since to really turn off you have to delete ini file and shut off? Will the changes remain active even if TS don't launch at startup?

Thanks.

As far as I'm aware, there isn't any benefit to bringing your voltage back up to default. If you're system is stable with an offset of -0.125V, then bringing it back up to 0V just means that that extra voltage is wasted (as heat). Chip manufacturers set that default value high, so that 99.99...% of processors will work, which also means that same percentage of chips are wasting at least some power.

What optimal offset voltage should I apply for a MSI GL63 8SD laptop with an intel i7 8750h?
Also please tell me if it is possible to undervolt the discrete Nvidia GPU?

Question: has anyone every run into a 'code execution' error when mfc120u.dll was not found? Even unzipped and saved locally, .exe keeps hitting this error, even when running as Administrator. Any tips or workaround welcome. - Seth

If you are still getting .dll error make sure you installed both x64 and x86 versions of Microsoft 2013 Redistributable.

Everytime i opened throttlestop i have the error "The application was unable to start correctly(0x000007b).Click Ok to close the application". What can i do to solve this error?

Matt Lohr

I resolved the 0x000007b error by installing the x64 Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (vcredist_x64.exe), and then copying mfc120u.dll and msvcr120.dll from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to the ThrottleStop directory.

Hi. I am Intisar. I am using AsusPro P2440UA with inter core i3 7100U for almost one and half year. Recently several months ago my laptop crashed and after then the CPU always stuck at 0.38 GHz. Sometimes when I work the Pc suddenly gets hot and the CPU gets down to bottom. And it continuously stuck there. I have done a lot of research on this. Then I gave a shot on ThrottleStop. However I have done the undervolting but the problems seems to be the same if I don't overclock means when I don't uncheck the BD PROCHOT. I have undervolted my CPU CORE and CACHE to -79 degrees and GPU to -32 degrees. But It doesn't work if I don't stop the BD PROCHOT and overclock the CPU. But I am scared whether It will damage the PC! Can You Help Please?

Hi, my laptop has rather nasty coil whine, which immediately goes away as soon as I disable turbo boost.

So I created a "quiet" profile without turbo boost and a "fast" profile with turbo boost. Basically I only need "fast" mode whenever I compile something complex using TeX. So it would be super nice if I could configure ThrottleStop to switch between profiles depending on whether the PDFLATEX.EXE process is currently running or not.

Is that possible? I was unable to find any option in TS or any related info online. Thanks a lot!
