I'm curious as to how this will work with the 5800X3D once it's available at retail, given it's a bit more finicky about voltages.

Throttlestop is Intel specific. It doesn't work with Ryzen CPUs

• Improved SpeedStep and Speed Shift compatibility with Windows.

Can we get more info on this one please. What improvements has been made,recommendations on how to set it up for best performance etc. etc.

• Reduced the chance of a BSOD loop if voltage is set too low.

So now,one can undervolt without knowing that it's too much and needs to dial it down. GREAT !!!!!

Running well on my 8th Gen Intel currently. Really liking the new FIVR window layout.

dnm_TXrecommendations on how to set it up

For best performance, use the Windows High Performance power plan. This will automatically set Speed Shift EPP to 0 on most recent computers. That is how to achieve best performance. If you want the CPU to slow down when lightly loaded, use the Windows Balanced power plan.

The only improvement is now you can check the Speed Shift EPP box on the main screen if you want ThrottleStop to send EPP values to the CPU,

OR

you can check the Speed Shift box in the TPL window if you want the Speed Shift Min and Max values sent to the CPU. I think in previous TS versions you had to check both of these options. Now you can check one or the other or both. It is still best to just let Windows manage Speed Shift EPP. No point in having ThrottleStop writing one EPP value to the CPU while Windows is busy writing a different EPP value to the same register in the same CPU. Avoid fights and let Windows manage EPP if it is capable of that.

BSOD loop

If ThrottleStop does not run for at least 4 seconds, the next time ThrottleStop starts, it will stop and ask if everything is OK. This might help a user avoid an infinite loop of BSOD because the voltages they are using might not have been fully tested before saving them.

Me too. The old gray screen is like a flash back to 1990. :D

Wow! Everything just works! Amazing!

Thanks for the hard work and long hours you put in. I'm sure the community greatly appreciates it.

Please, take a much deserved break.

You are welcome. Thanks for your suggestions and willingness to do lots of testing for me. Your enthusiasm provided me with some much needed motivation. ThrottleStop users worldwide appreciate your help.

Curious as how this is compared to parkcontrol and are there any benifits to switching on an Intel® Core™ i5-7400? Already unlocked Ultimate Power Plan and Use on all systems, Honestly why is this not the default.... Well as I download the zip and read the info, now i can see a much clearer picture, though i would still love to know if this can truly benefit me, but on a gaming desktop level, though I'm sure my laptop would love it if weren't for being an AMD. Though, have you considered the landscape of older MacBook's with intel Architecture? I do happen to have on of those laying around...

I used ParkControl like you did to unlock/make the BitSum High Performance power profile but then only run ThrottleStop each boot for power management and mode control. I do not personally need to park or unpark cores for my use case. You can use both softwares alongside eachother seemlessly. I am lucky in that the Clevo Control Center also on my machine does nothing to mitigate either software's changes and I use it for RGB control and custom fan curve settings simultaneously to either/both softwares running.

When ThrottleStop first dawned my door I felt like I won the lottery and it's truly one of the main reasons I even enjoy my laptop and can fully utilize the 8750H. HWBot Gold CBR20 "World Record" was honestly only achievable thanks to @unclewebb and his hard work!
