Looking for some help configuring throttlestop for my i7-10750H

[Kenichi_R]

I just downloaded throttlestop and wondering on how to make my laptop more stable and cool (idk what im doing)
System Model Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H
Windows 11
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2601 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti

are there any important settings to change?
also wondering is it normal for my some cores to be hotter than others?

how to make my laptop more stable and cool

A peak of 70°C with peak power consumption at 81.3W is excellent. The 10750H is a power hungry beast of a CPU. Your temperatures are way better than average. The Lenovo Legion series tend to have better than average cooling.

The BIOS you are using has locked out CPU voltage control. If that was unlocked you could run even cooler. Some users have installed older BIOS versions to unlock voltage control. When the top middle of the ThrottleStop FIVR window says Locked, there is not much you can adjust in the FIVR window.

I like checking the MMIO Lock box in the TPL window. In the Options window I check the PROCHOT Offset box and I check the Lock PROCHOT Offset box.

also wondering is it normal for my some cores to be hotter than others?

Intel core temperature sensors are only accurate to +/- 5°C so yes, it is normal for the core temperatures to vary a little from core to core. Cores on the edge of the CPU package might run cooler compared to cores that are surrounded by other cores.

You bought a high performance 10th Gen laptop. Do not be afraid to use it at its full rated speed. I cringe when I see that Disable Turbo is checked and it is really painful to see the MMIO PL1 power limit set to only 25W. That is kind of like buying a Corvette and putting a brick under the gas pedal.

So theres not much i could change without getting a version of a bios that supports voltage control? And btw i repasted with gelid gc extreme and changed the thermal pads with gelid gp ultimate a couple days back as the arctic mx-4 i used keeps pumping out after weeks or a month making my temps ranging from 85-95 for gaming. This image was the mx-4 after a few weeks and im wondering if i had put too much pressure, uneven mounting or just the thermal paste itself that is prone to pumping out? Sorry to change the topic here
