#CPU going to 0.79ghz for a short period

well try the windose power profile the power saving is kind of broken for games

#

ah laptops

wicked grove
#

try lower gpu power limit to 65W

mental ice
#

most likely the charger, yeah. My laptop dips below that once I disconnect the charger, I could see that happen to you when your system uses more power than the charger is able to provice.

#

Do you have a dGPU?

#

if yes, then if it's an Nvidia GPU, try using Afterburner or X1 to modify the power limit, I think you can set it to be below your OEM's power config

#

However, if no dGPU, download Intel XTU, and check what's causing the throttling, if it indeed is power limiting, then try lowering your CPU's power usage in the meantime using XTU, by lowering frequency and/or core voltage. (important: do NOT use positive values for CPU core voltage. Undervolting is fine, but overvolting is dangerous territory)

#

hmm yeah, you might be right

#

While connected to charger?

#

Sounds to me like it prioritizes keeping the battery charged over performance once it hits 80%

#

your laptop got one of those barrel plugs, right?

#

Okay good news

#

I looked up the charger for your laptop

#

It seems to be the standard dell charging plug. They've had this for a long while now, we're talking as in my intel 4800MQ laptop had that same charger type

#

so you don't need to specifically search for the charger for your laptop, just something that works with dell laptops

#

Yup

#

Just make sure to not buy the cheapest you can find. Try authentic dell if you can

#

hmm...

#

yeah that's abit too much

#

either way, proceed at own risk

wicked grove
#

its it a usb c charger

#

or barral plug

mental ice
#

barrel

#

Probably doesn't support USB-C charging actually

#

not enough wattage for the CPU and GPU

#

Try finding old XTU versions

#

had that same problem trying to undervolt my 4th gen haswell system

#

huh

#

weird

#

Yeah, might be out of luck until you get that new charger tbh, there could be other things you could try, but I am not aware of what those things are, sorry I couldn't help with this

#

right

#

What is

#

the GPU?

#

oh got it

#

Did you change the power limits?

#

Is it working properly now?

#

fair fair

#

oh nice, u got XTU working

#

ah fair

#

has the cpu spiked down to 0.79ghz though?

#

is the charger connected?

#

hmmm

#

dumb idea but-

#

does your laptop have a way of disabling cores?

#

BIOS?

#

got it

#

what about using XTU

#

whoops

#

xtu lets you set per-core frequency, right?

#

oh i see what u mean

#

to be fair that was stressing both cpu and gpu which is uncommon in a lot of workloads

#

try using roblox and see what happens

mental ice
#

hmm :/
