    Right!

    I have the same result like LeeLoyd :

    Test 1 : Bios 1.0.2 : OC1 (in Bios) no undervolt :

    Test 2 : Bios 1.0.2 : No OC (stock) / No Undervolt :

    TEST 3 : Bios 1.0.2 : No OC (stock) / Undervolt -160mv :

    I confirm that a mechanism prevents overheating in stock mode whatever one does.

    I hope that Dell, with Franck Azor's announcement on twitter cancel this system because when i seeing my temperatures I find this limitation is useless in stock mode :(

    Thanks mobius, did you have any more information on the type of the limit and what it was before and what it is now?

    Defaults Power limits are PL1 @45000mW and PL2 @56250mW, I think the issue was even when you set them both to 100000mW in Bios settings, PL1 reverted back to 45W as soon as Windows starts. And you had to use XTU again to set PL1 to 100W.
