Throttlestop - C1E on or off for less throttling?

I have this AORUS 15P XD laptop that pre-maturely throttles at around 80 degrees Celsiusor so and I can't change this throttlestop without getting a cracked BIOS version since a lot of voltage settings and such are completely locked.

C1E supposedly saves power by turning turbo boost off automatically when it is not being used, which is turn should reduce temperature.

I'm wondering if this might have any effect on pre-mature throttle and if I want to get the most performance I can before my CPU throttles, should I turn this C1E option on or off?

I'm thinking turning it off will help reduce temperatures and thus allow longer sustained performance, but turning it on may help to keep the core clock speeds higher before throttling?

If you have the laptop sitting in front of you, why not do some testing so you can answer this question?

Any Intel CPU built during the last 15 years have the unused cores entering the core C7 state to save power. This is way better than C1E. I do not think toggling C1E on or off will make any difference. I might be wrong because I have never tested this.

Let us know your results.

I think it would be very hard to find a difference, so I was wondering if anyone could answer generally whether or not it has any real effect on performance, and I'm assuming it won't but I'm curious if anyone has found out anything.

If C1E only affects CPU frequencies when it's not being used for heavy tasks, I guess it only serves to save power and that's all.
