You can have 4 different TDP/TDC values for each of the 4 ThrotleStop profiles, however the TRL multipliers they always remain the same. Is there a way of having 4 different TRL multipliers for each of the profiles?

This is not yet possible. Maybe someday.

Thanks for all the hard job unclewebb.

One more question unclewebb.
When I use my computer for standard purposes I use a 76w/65A TDP/TDC and 27-26-22-22 on a i7-920XM. However, when I play games I configure ThrottleStop back to 55w/47A, if I don't change the multipliers is there any risk for my CPU? I won't get rounded FID values when doing benchmarks, is this something should be avoided?
Cheers - 
 
 This multi should work just fine with this TDP.
Why do you lower the TDP/TDC for gaming? Doesn't make sense to me... when you lower the TDP but keep the multi the only effect it has is that the CPU can't really make use of the higher multi since there's not enough thermal headroom.
But there's no risk involved for the CPU by not adjusting the multi as well.
What do you mean with this? The multi changes very quickly and TS simply shows the average between the measuring intervals, that's why you for example see multis like 21.35 or similar. That's not a problem at all. If your CPU is under 100% load and you see such a multi, it is a sign that the TDP is too low and that the CPU is throttling.
Btw, is 55W/47A the standard setting of an OEM 920xm? -

Yes, 55W/47A is stock for the OEM 920xm.

 Thanks Rev! Interesting... my ES has a standard value of 62/62.

 I overclock my Nvidia 460m when playing games and I am a little bit worried that if I also overclock my CPU when gaming I could burn the PSU or the mobo by asking for too much power? Do you think there is a risk?
That's exactly the answer I was looking for.

 76W TDP won't be a risk at all, I regularly played games with 24x and 83W TDP and overclocked GPU... no problem at all. If you have a kill-o-watt or similar you can measure the power draw and see more or less how much headroom you have.

62W/62A is the Intel (and Dell) default setting(s) for the 940xm. Maybe you have a 940 in disguise. - 
 
No I got an ES initially and it had the same. Seems that ES's have a higher starting TPL.
 - 
 62/62 has been the Dell setting for both the 920 and 940. That's why they were winning the benchmarks when chipset first debuted.
 - 
 
Oh I see. That's weird. What cheats! ha!
 - 
 
 Nice!!
 Thanks for the info! It seems the ES 920 have 62/62 as standard as well, the 920xm I put in the G73 of a buddy had the same setting if I'remember it correctly.
      - 
 
So I guess both theories were right. The ES's have a starting TPL of 62/62 but OEM's in Dell's also have the same
      
Throttle Stop, different TRL profiles?
