Change TPL probably doesn't have any effect, the only way to lift off power limit throttle is to make changes in BIOS (metioned several pages ago). Just messing around with Core/Cache and iGPU/SystemAgent. Once you get rid of thermal throttling you should easily get 1200+ cinebench.

what's your ram clocks at 2600mhz? (after overclocking)
mine's 19-19-19-43 it was originally running at 2600mhz(made by sk hynix) -
I didnt change DDR voltage. Check my HWInfo few pages back, there's a screenshot of ram info.

For starters, work on getting your core and cache voltages optimized. This can help reduce temps. A lot of settings in ThrottleStop don't work or has limitations, they are being blocked or overriden by the firmware. It is important that you reduce the temps, then its safer to move on to the next step.
Then, work on the hidden settings in the firmware, be prepared and don't make unnecessary adjustments....
The rest, you can do them slowly later... a lot of the settings in ThrottleStop don't work. You can find out what works and what doesn't later.
The key strategy here is,
1. Reduce the temps
2. Solve the power limit problem through hidden bios settings
3. Make sure your laptop has no problems that may affect performance
-Power LED behavior (I think this is Optimus related)
-Bloatware or programs affecting the Power Led behaviour
If these three are addressed, you will definitely see awesome benchmark scores and the rest is history.Last edited: Jul 24, 2018Gursimran82956 likes this. -
@sush33king My don't see my power buttin LED changes color at all during gaming or benching? is it bad?

Gursimran82956 Notebook Consultant
My throttlestop resets after shutdown or restarting the laptop
Any solution?
Edit -
Nevermind, got it, my bad -
When gaming, the red light should be activated. When idle, it should be blue. In other words, it is a NVidia GPU usage indicator.
Before i did the bios settings change, i was able to bench above 1260, with no throttle. This was possible only when the led turns blue midway through benching. I think this indicates that on my laptop, Optimus is working properly as it should.
Only when doing bench loops, the throttling starts, after 3 times. I assume the VR cant take it anymore.
When I plug my laptop into my secondary monitor, the red light get activated, meaning that NVidia's GPU is activated, and the power draw increases to above 10 watts. When this happens, it throttles 100 percent of the time when i bench, with the led light staying red throughout.
Due to these observations, I assume that the light turning blue when it should is the right and optimum behavior.
Steam affects the led light behavior. I removed it from startup and my benching improved with the red light deactivating as it should in a timely manner.Last edited: Jul 24, 2018 -

@sush33king @Le Quan
Atlast crossed 1200+ mark
any tips for what to do after removing these issues by {only undervolting(if possible)}?
fans were at auto and ambient temperature at my uni's dorm is 32C
and many thanks for taking your time to help me. -
It is possible to remove the limit issues through undervolting. However, running multiple benches in a row will cause the VR to throttle, unless you perform the BIOS config changes.
So its a tedious process trying to get the jackpot offsets, coz u gotta let the VR rest in between benches. Its time consuming. I'd just go for the bios change, but that's me.
1. Make sure your led is able to turn blue, it should be blue when idle.
2. Fine tune your undervolting
3. Set your power mode to balanced, "better performance" - not sure about this, but theres where my settings are at.
4. Remove any unwanted startup programs - only if your led is not turning blueGursimran82956 likes this. -

Regardless, power limit throttling is (eventually) unavoidable without changing settings in the hidden BIOS. This is because there's a time limit for turbo boost, and you cannot change this with ThrottleStop (CPU should be about 60-65W at this point to maintain 3.9GHz at full load, after that it's capped at 45W.hence throttling occurs). Try left Alt + right Ctrl + right Shift + F2 to get into advanced BIOS, check a few pages back and you'll see how to prevent power throttling.
However, given your ambient temp is rather high, and temp is already approaching 90C, unless you willing to turn Cooler Boost on or use the laptop where ambient temp is lower, CPU would be thermally throttled anyways. Still, give it a shot if you want to get them higher score.
P/s: Remember to stress test your system afterwards (~15-20mins of CPU+GPU stress works for me); or maybe just fire up your fav game for a couple hours to see if the system holds up.
P/s2: You can also set another profile to use on battery, with even more aggressive undervolting and SST value sets to much higher so squeeze out more juice on the go.Gursimran82956 likes this. -

Les is Turning blue when idle(nvidia driver controlled, auto select option in nvidia settings and best performance in the battery icon) and turbo, fans in auto in msi dragon center the max temperature was 83° at -0.227 core, -136 gpu(intel), -0.222 cache and the score was 1244
Btw do we have to undervolt sytem agent, analog i/o? -

Thats the BIOS settings that will fix the VR problem.

At the offsets now(upper post) max temp. 78°C at cooler master.
Btw is there any flaw in having cooler master on while gaming and doing extensive work for longer periods of time? -
Gursimran82956 Notebook Consultant
Btw what's your single core cb?

Cooler Boost is hella noisy, thats all the draw back. I can't turn it on if I'm in the room with my friend or in library. Otherwise it significantly reduces the temps, which is amazing.Last edited: Jul 24, 2018Gursimran82956 likes this. -

My 1060 is running a little slower after undervolting cpu any remedy?
-
Gursimran82956 Notebook Consultant

Gursimran82956 Notebook Consultant
My offsets are core,cache -217
Analog i/o is -80
Gpu, system -125
Cinebench is stable upto 4 times(for all tests) at 5th test there's somewhat throttle.(pl1)
Unigine superposition is very stable.
4k, 1080p extreme, 1080p high.
In the real bench benchmark
There's some throttle(pl1,pl2,edp) in encoding test, open cl(only at the end) and system freezes at the heavy multitasking benchmarkAttached Files:

@Le Quan is there any remedy for the post i wrote above?

Also analogue O/I undervolt doesn't affect performance, you can just to revert it to default.
not relavent but here my unigene 1080p Extreme score -

about 1250 is super high for a i7 8750H without unlock PL @Gursimran82956 My system got about 1220 before unlocking BIOS.

Is there no issue in unlocking bios except that of heating?
Won't there be any type of resistance/conflict if the wattage higher than 45W is given to cpu?
Conflict of the wattage of gpu, cpu my power brick is only 180W though.
Will it won't have any issue in life of the parts if i can do something about cooling? And just last question
Will the throttling stop completely after unlocking bios?(except in case of thermals)
If yes then in that case i can just make profiles for battery, plugged in, plugged in(cooled). -
Unlocked BIOS will not give you any increase in game performance. You can only see the benefit if you constantly pushes CPU usage (video encoding or heavy computing). Regardless, it's no hurt to give it a spin to see a better score in benchmark, you can revert it to default whenever you want.
Edit: To be fair, unlock PL might result in shorten the lifespan of CPU. However, realisticly CPU rarely the first thing to break down in laptop, and most games don't even fully utiliize CPU to the point of power throttling anyways (unlike benchmark)Gursimran82956 likes this. -
@Gursimran82956 I just tried the RealBench test. You should adjust the undervolt setting if your laptop crashes during that benchmark. Try aiming for 15-30mins stable in SRESS TEST, not 5mins of benchmarking.

Look at the temps on this baby.... Le Quans Leopard is ice cold compared to this.

Such review unit probably runs at stock and auto fan while my rig has been tuned and benchmark most of the time with cooler boost. I bet that Asus would run much cooler with proper tuning. Plus, 1250cb at stock is impressive as hell.

What should be the target temps for gpu, cpu (idle and load) by undervolting?(if we neglect the ambient temperature)

You can try undervolting analog i/o it helped in my case. Try about -80 then -100.6 by this you'll be able to increase other undervolts. I did it that way.
