Cinebench testing outside at 8°C is the trick I use. That is why the core temps are so low in the screenshot I posted. With the P cores numbered from 0 to 7, my screenshot shows that during Cinebench, core 0 peaked at 79°C and core 3 peaked at 90°C. The temperature sensors that Intel uses are...

If you want to know for sure, try it and find out. If you resume from sleep and all of the yellow lock icons are still there in the TPL window, then you will know for sure that this trick does not work on your computer.

Only if this trick unlocks your power limits. There is a 99% chance that this will not do anything. This trick to unlock the power limits only worked on very, very few computers.

It is not a warning. It is information. You are not going to hurt anything trying this. When you see that the power limits are locked, try doing a sleep resume cycle. Some computers a long time ago would forget to lock the power limits when a computer would resume from sleep. When you resume...

All those yellow lock icons indicate the values that were locked by the BIOS. Locked values cannot be changed. That is typical of laptop computers from that era.

Try it and find out. Post a TPL screenshot. The BIOS might have locked the power limits. If you see a yellow lock icon on the left side of the MSR Power Limits Control section then you cannot use any software to change the turbo power limits.

It is normal to see Utilization light up red when you are sitting mostly idle at the desktop. The CPU is not delivering maximum performance because it does not need to. You are not doing anything too demanding when sitting at the desktop looking at the screen. Intel's U series of processors...

Some laptop manufacturers use an embedded controller to enforce low ball current limits. ThrottleStop does not have access to the EC so it cannot be used to fix EC current limit throttling problems. Some MSI laptops enforce a lower CPU current limit whenever the Nvidia GPU is active. This is...

Is EDP constantly red in Limit Reasons or is it yellow? I have a newer processor where EDP is constantly yellow. This does not seem to negatively effect performance. Try setting IccMax to the max, 255.75, for CPU Core, Cache, Intel GPU and iGPU Unslice. Also set Power Limit 4 to the max, 1023...

Post some ThrottleStop screenshots including the main window, the FIVR and TPL windows.

ThrottleStop has not changed how it handles the Speed Shift register. It is likely that Windows 11 24H2 has changed how Windows programs the Speed Shift register. There is nothing I can do about that. If I had your computer I would lower the turbo power limits. That is the best control method...

IccMax adjustment is not available for your processor. You need a 6th Gen or newer CPU to use that feature. There should be a similar Current limit adjustment in the TPL window for 4th and 5th Gen CPUs.

The maximum multiplier does play a part in how much voltage is needed to be stable. The problem is, your computer is not stable. That is why I suggested adding some voltage. If AIDA64 is stable at -125 mV or -100 mV then you know that your problem is not enough voltage.

Try left clicking on any part of the user interface. Hold the mouse button down and you should be able to move that window up to access any buttons. Try using XTU. It is more modern and should have less scaling problems on whatever screen size you are using. The top middle of the FIVR window...

I am guessing that your -170 mV undervolt for the core and the P cache is too much. My 14900HX starts losing stability if I go beyond -150 mV. Try reducing your undervolt. Start conservatively. Maybe -125 mV and work your way towards -150 mV. Try to find a voltage where you can run AIDA64...
