Top middle of the FIVR window shows that Undervolt Protection is enabled. Look in the BIOS to see if you can disable that. If you can fix that, set V/F Point 1 to 150. Set the core and P cache to negative offsets of -150 mV. I set all of the Turbo Groups to 52. Try to get this undervolt stable...

You can run an Intel CPU at whatever speed you like. I have a mobile 14900HX which at default specs tries to run the two fastest cores at the 58 multiplier when 1 or 2 cores are active. It takes a lot of additional voltage to get a CPU core stable at 5800 MHz compared to the default 5200 MHz...

The Auto setting in the BIOS version that he is using is setting the turbo limits to the correct default values, 253W for PL1 and PL2. ThrottleStop confirms that the CPU is using those values. In this case, setting the turbo power limits manually to 253W is not going to make any difference. If...

Definitely a problem. Room temps of 20°C are able to dissipate more heat compared to room temps closer to 30°C or beyond. Come summer time everyone starts to complain about their hot running computers. I used to de-tune my desktop computer during the summer months. If high temps are bothering...

His ThrottleStop screenshot shows that the PL1 and PL2 turbo power limits are both set to 253 Watts. The BIOS shows the same thing. Limiting the maximum turbo speed when the CPU is lightly loaded is one way to reduce the maximum voltage. Sacrificing a few hundred MHz will barely be noticed and...

I am not familiar with your laptop model so I do not know what normal temperatures should be. What I do see is that your CPU is reaching the thermal throttling temperature when running at only 50 Watts. The heatsink is either inadequate for maximum performance or it was installed poorly or...

The default voltage for many 13th and 14th Gen processors tends to be high. Intel extended the warranty from 3 to 5 years to help cover any failures. The ThrottleStop FIVR window shows that you still have Windows core isolation memory integrity or something else enabled that is using...

Intel CPUs can run reliably at high temperatures. Attach a log file. Part of the problem is Acer locked the thermal throttling temperature to 92C. Intel says the recommended max is 100C. That is the main problem. The CPU will start thermal throttling and slowing down well before it should...

The Intel G7 series does not support any undervolting. Only the mobile HX and HK series allow undervolting. Post a screenshot of the TPL window and check the Log File box before you start playing. There might be something else ThrottleStop can do. With locked down Acer laptops, usually not.

When you disable the C states in the BIOS, it usually leaves two C states still available. The CPU will be in the C0 state when it is actively working on a task. CPU cores will enter the C1 state when they have nothing to do. This is not going to hurt anything. If ThrottleStop reports C0% =...

No need to consult any experts. You are the expert of your laptop. If it was my laptop, I might bump the turbo ratios up from 36 to 38 or 40. I like performance. I understand that you probably lowered the turbo ratios to reduce heat. That is OK. Intel designs their CPUs to run hot reliably...

I do not know what settings you were trying or why your laptop shutdown. A properly engineered and functioning laptop should be able to run Cinebench without ever shutting down. If you are using ThrottleStop to increase the MMIO PL1 turbo power limit then maybe your laptop is not happy with...

Some software on your computer is changing the MMIO power limits. When Sync MMIO is not checked, the MMIO PL1 power limit is dropping down to 70 Watts. ThrottleStop is not doing that. There must be some software from Lenovo running on your computer that is doing that. You bought a laptop that...

When you run a test and sometimes it works and sometimes it crashes, that means you are getting very close to how much voltage your CPU needs to be stable. I would use -125 mV for a few days to see if you have 100% stability. If that proves to be OK, try -130 mV for a few days. I prefer to use...

Keep adding voltage until you find a voltage that allows Cinebench to complete without any errors. Try -125 mV for the P core and P cache. If you bought a laptop that has a poorly designed cooling system, you will have to keep reducing performance. Turn on the ThrottleStop Log File option so...
