TechPowerUp ThrottleStop 9 Released - Override OEM Power Throttling

TechPowerUp today released ThrottleStop 9 by Kevin Glynn, a groundbreaking update to the popular app that lets you take greater control over the power management in your Intel-powered notebook or desktop system, unleashing more performance by overriding OEM-preset processor throttling. Version 9.0 of ThrottleStop comes with system-level improvements that ensure the app isn't blocked Valorant anti-cheat, or false-positives by similar mechanisms.

The app also adds awareness and optimization for Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004). Support for Intel 10th Gen Intel Core processors has been added, including Limit Reasons access. PROCHOT Offset adjustment feature has been added. The C-states window has been redesigned to make it easier to work with 6-core and 8-core processors. The throttle on the main screen has been improved to now display the type of throttling. Consistency of temperature monitoring between the notification window and main window has been improved. Grab the app from the link below.

The change-log follows.

  • Replaced the WinRing0 and RwDrv.sys drivers for improved Windows 10 2004 compatibility.
  • First version compiled with Visual Studio 2019.
  • Added code to stop ThrottleStop from starting if it previously crashed on startup.
  • Added options to adjust the main ThrottleStop font.
  • Enabled Limit Reasons access for Intel 10th Gen Core i CPUs.
  • Added max temperature and max power consumption to the main screen.
  • Redesigned the C States window to include 6 and 8 core support.
  • New Notification Area power icon.
  • Added an adjustable PROCHOT Offset feature.
  • Redesigned Throttle indicator on the main screen which includes types of throttling.
  • NVIDIA MHz reporting added to the log file and to the GPU button.
  • Improved consistency between user interface and Notification Area temperatures.

Hardware GeekI have googled this to no avail. What is the translation? Perhaps you can put it in other terms so as not to put up words that are blocked.
Take it to PM guys.

Is there an article someone can point me to with any type of write up on the different features of this or should I just download it and start playing with it?

midnightoilWish there was something like this for Vega and RVII GPUs to stop them being held in an ultra low power state in some less demanding games or applications. There's no way around it currently. Affects most DX9, a lot of DX10, and a lot of less demanding DX11 titles. Totally cripples the card and performance.

As an example, I can't even play Spelunky on my Radeon VII. The card sets an 18-23W TDP and won't go over that. Resulting in terrible stutter and then the game quitting.

It seems to be a result of AMD's botched 'removal' of Power Efficiency from the last Adrenalin drivers.
And you cant find this with a bios, registry hack, or another app that puts the card into a 3d state at all? Sounds very strange. Drivers or settings within a driver are no more then a registry tweak.

Awesome! A version for AMD would have been awesome, but I guess there is a lot of work to achieve that.

Noticed something interesting using ThrottleStop with BCLK overclocking clock modulation didn't appear as if it was working in the past with CPU-Z however windows task manager seems to report frequency changes when lowering or raising the values which I hadn't noticed in the past or put two in two together maybe it is functioning. I had assumed it wasn't working when doing a BCLK OC because CPU-Z not reporting it. Anyway noticing the task manager thing I thought I tried the built in benchmark tool in ThrottleStop to try to valid what in fact was going on. Seems it is working so you can still do CPU clock modulation with a BCLK OC which I hadn't realized until now. That raises the prospect of being able to boot into windows and auto load ThrottleStop to lower the CPU clock modulation to maintain frequency stability at a higher BCLK OC at the same frequency value provided it's stable enough to boot into windows in the first place yet not stable enough to boot, but not stable enough to boot and be under full stress. It should help with fine tuning the memory controller's performance if I'm not mistaken by modulating to the same peak CPU frequency at a higher BCLK value!?
