Feature Request ThrottleStop auto shutdown

[isidroco]

Hi, wonderful program. Is it possible to ask an auto shutdown, I want to start ThrottleStop that will set my undervoltage, and exit. Maybe a setting like ThrottleStop --silent --exit at command line (silent to avoid any activity on taskbar) or an autokill timer on settings.

ThrottleStop already has the features you are looking for.

Open the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file and add this line,

ExitTime=5

That will cause ThrottleStop to automatically exit 5 seconds after it starts. You could probably set that to 1 second if you wanted to.

If you want ThrottleStop to start up quietly in the background, do not check any of the notification area icon boxes and on the main screen, do not check the Task Bar box.

Thanks you for you quick answer! That info would be useful on the readme file.
My goal is to lower -95mV on all machines (which is a more or less conservative value) and exit, using a generic INI file. My problem now is that I don't want other settings to be touched (ie: Turbo Ratio Limits multiplier, etc). Is it possible to have an stripped out INI file to do that?

If you undervolt and exit ThrottleStop, after a sleep resume or hibernate resume, the CPU will be back to default voltage. Is that what you want? I never recommend doing this.

I have no idea about a stripped out INI file. You will have to experiment to see what is possible. As soon as you run ThrottleStop, it is going to write a lot of values to the INI file. I have no plans to redesign this part of ThrottleStop.

ThrottleStop.ini minimun settings description:
Options1=0x00300020; avoids first run warning
ExitTime=15; exits after 15 seconds
FIVRVoltage00=0xF4800000; sets CPU IA offset voltage to -89.8 mV
FIVRVoltage20=...; sets cache LLC/Ring offset voltage
UnlockVoltage00=1; unlocks CPU Core voltages settings
UnlockVoltage20=1; unlocks CPU Cache voltages

[ThrottleStop]
Options1=0x00300020
ExitTime=15
FIVRVoltage00=0xF4800000
FIVRVoltage20=0xF4800000
UnlockVoltage00=1
UnlockVoltage20=1

Note (Bug?): If one opens FIVR window, and ExitTime is triggered, main program window will be closed, but FIVR window won't.

Note (Bug?)

Thanks for reporting that. I will see if I can get that fixed up in the next release.
