If it is already locked, ThrottleStop cannot do anything so the Disable and Lock feature will no longer work. They can easily decide to set and lock this register first before ThrottleStop has access to it. It is possible that Dell knows about the ThrottleStop Disable and Lock trick.

Your computer uses Speed Shift Technology to control the CPU speed so I do not think you need to use this option.Ĭompletely shut down your computer by holding the Shift key on the keyboard and selecting the Windows Shut Down menu option. Do not check this option in ThrottleStop and do not set it to High Performance. Try setting the Windows power plan back to Balanced. Lots of guides recommend making random adjustments without providing any proof that an adjustment will improve performance. When you delete the config file and go back to default settings, avoid changing things in ThrottleStop unless you know exactly what each change does. The PP0 Power Limit is also rarely used or set by the BIOS.

A setting of 0 is usually the default value. I would also avoid checking the TDP Level Control option.

If you use values way outside the normal range, the CPU might decide to ignore your request. The default 28 seconds is more than enough. No need to have the turbo time limits set to 3,670,016 seconds. Your CPU cannot be overclocked so you might as well use the default turbo ratios, 40, 40, 37, 37. If you do have a need to lock this, better to lock it at 100 than lock it at 0. There is rarely a situation where this register needs to be locked. Immediately open the TPL window and see if this is option is Locked or not. When you start back up and run ThrottleStop, it will create a new ThrottleStop.INI configuration file. Hold the Shift key down on your keyboard when selecting the Windows Shut Down menu option. I would exit ThrottleStop, delete the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file and completely shutdown. Do you remember if you checked the Lock option in ThrottleStop or perhaps the BIOS has locked this register? Having the PP0 Current Limit locked at 0 might be the source of your throttling problem. If this is set to 0 and it is not locked, that is usually OK. Your screenshots show that the Lock box is checked and it is set to 0. EDP OTHER in red across all 3 domains is usually caused by the PP0 Current Limit being set too low.
