Check "Disable Turbo" on the left.

it keeps ignoring the limits

maybe its an error from throttlestop?
Highly unlikely.
I have requested this be moved by a Mod to the correct Throttlestop section so the author of that software can have a look at the issue.

the average power consumption is lower but the spikes still hitting 80 - 90 watts

I didn't use techpoweup for a while, I didn't know there was a section for throttlestop, thank you very much

Click FIVR, unlock voltage control and undervolt it. Start small, like -5 to -10mV on adaptive voltage

In the TPL window check the MMIO Lock box. Clear the Sync MMIO box. Try checking both Clamp boxes in the Power Limit Controls section to enforce the requested power limits.

Check the Ring Down Bin box in the FIVR window and always leave the Windows Max processor state at 100%.

Тurn on SpeedStep
When Speed Shift (SST) is enabled, the older SpeedStep is not used. Having SpeedStep enabled or not makes no difference.

@proooo
After you check the Short Power PL2 Clamp box, attach a log file if you are still having problems.

The log is very useful. Instead of posting an image of a log file, just attach the log file in its original .txt format. That makes it easier to scroll through the whole thing.

The log file shows that the 60W power limit is being enforced the majority of the time. Try checking the MMIO Lock box in the TPL window like I previously suggested. Also check the Lock box in the Power Limit Controls section. Locking both the MMIO and MSR limits might help fix the problem.

Do not check the More Data box when logging data. Power consumption is not read directly from the CPU. When you increase the monitoring frequency and shorten the amount of time that power consumption data is calculated, you will end up with a larger amount of error. The 100W peak for 1/8th of a second looks mostly like monitoring error to me.

i disabled more data and the readings are normal now, but now it turned off completely, I think it's some damage to my cpu :(


I still really appreciate trying to help me, if I discover something I will post it.

Thank you very much unclewebb.

Don't worry about it if your CPU is damaged you probably won't be able to boot your laptop

Intel Dynamic Tuning and ThrottleStop can fight each other over control of your CPU. That might have been causing those brief power peaks.

disable turbo or/and disable HT. You may laugh but laptop has bad cooling so it's stupid to think that powerful multicore CPU will push the limits like desktop one with big tower cooler or AIO.

After a few days of testing I can say that everything works well, it is solved, I guess this concludes the thread, I hope that one day this information will be useful.
