    Hi,
    I have just played Witcher 3 and check with XTU how things going. I saw 3 thermal throttling reasons

    1. Current Limit Throttle (max 30%, avg 2%)
    2. Power Limit Throttle (max 2%, avg 0%)
    3. Thermal Limir Throttle (max 1%, avg 0%)

    What does those values mean? Thermal is clear, however Current and Thermal? How they corresponds each other in our Alienware systems? Current was not connected with CPU temps... Thermal was pick only in short moment when CPU went to 97C (only several ms during 2h of gaming).
