I find something interesting.
The acceleration of the fans（GPU/CPU，maybe both）may be one of the reseaons that make the CPU throttling(not thermal throttling).Another reseaon may be the high load of the GPU.
That is to say,the BIOS/EC may limit the power(only 180W) on the condition of（1)high acceleration of the fans speed (in games) && （2） high gpu load .
We obviously satisfy the condition(1)&(2) when we play high demanding games,so the CPU will throttle(not thermal throttling)(4980->2.8HZ ,4710->2.5GHZ maybe 0.8GHZ).
My friend(4980HQ) and I use HWiNFO64 to set the fan(GPU&CPU) to Maximum(5200(CPU) 5000(GPU)) at the beginning.Then we click and play(monitor the gpu clock,and cpu clock in game)for a few hours.
We find that we won't suffering from the throttling any longer(both GPU and CPU not throttle),and the wattmeter show that the consumption is aboat 240 watt!!
U should try our method to see if it is helpful. Pay attention to the temperature because the CPU & GPU are running at full speed
ps：4710HQ+A00+240PSW+ThrottleStop800+undervolt 60mv+repasting
Perhaps，I find the key to solve the (power)throttling problem when play high demanding games（ex Witc
