ThrottleStop 9.7 - V/F Point

[Elvira]

Hi,

(CPU is intel i9-13980HX)
I have only one profile and I set the V/F Point Offset Tuner 1 with and identical value of 125 for Core and Cache. The Cache one is for matching CPU P Cache ?
I need to fill only the V/F Point 1 ?
If someone can tell me if it is right from the 2 screenshoot. Thanx in advance.

I need to fill only the V/F Point 1 ?

Many users set V/F Point 1 to the same value as the CPU Core and CPU P Cache offset undervolt value. You have set your offset undervolt to -125 mV in the FIVR window so setting V/F Point 1 @ 800 MHz to 125 looks OK to me.

It is always best not to change anything in ThrottleStop unless you are going to do some testing to prove that the change you made improves performance or improves temperatures. All CPUs are unique when it comes to the voltage they need to run stable. Too many people copy voltage numbers they found somewhere on the internet.

If you intend to use more than one Profile in ThrottleStop, press the Sync button to copy your V/F Point voltage to all 4 profiles.

@Elvira I noticed that your microcode version is old. Here is how to update your microcode even if your laptop manufacturer has not released an updated BIOS version.

Let me start with a small background info... Since we know all Intel's fiasco about what is happening with Raptor Lake/Raptor Lake Refresh which is Intel's codename for the 13th and 14th generations of Intel Core processors, Most OEM/Vendors doesn't want to provide BIOS update that includes...

Thank you @unclewebb I followed "Valor549" ultimate guide. I will look into the microcode. There is a new bios but didn't get time to update who is a critical. May be it include microcode. Thanx for the advice i will bookmark the page.
Wish you a great year 2025

There is a new bios

I would always be hesitant to install a new BIOS version. Often times a new BIOS will remove or lock out useful features like undervolting. Using the guide I posted to update to a new microcode version can be easily reversed if things do not work out.

I followed "Valor549" ultimate guide.

I know it well. That is a great place for any 13th or 14th Gen HX owner to start testing.

Updated the way you told me. Better to be safe. Seems to have many bugs with new bios. Thanx again
