Hello there!
First i want to say thanks for all the super helpful undervolting advice in this forum!
After i've got myself a new 3080 eGPU recently (for rendering pruposes mostly, but i love to game too) i've been trying my best to make my i7 7950H keep up.
I've been going through the regular undervolting procedure, managing to drop my temps by quite a margin while trying to manage the maximum sustainable turbo.
I noticed today that during long benchmarks i keep running into some thermal throttling even though my CPU cores will barely hit the 95° mark. (The PROCHOT on my device is 100°)
From what i gathered here in this forum it might be a faulty / too hot sensor somewhere not directly related to the CPU?
I've attached my ThrottleStop setup, log and a HWMonitor reading.
My idea here is to make the CPU keep a certain turbo wattage constantly for smoother gameplay.
I manage to go as high as 56 on short and long power limits before my CPU started to sometimes peak around 96°, but generally running at around 94-95°.
Around the 50 watt mark everything runs smooth on 12 threads, 6144M with CPU temps maxing at 90°
Unfortunately i cannot figure out what causes the temperature throttling.
Am i doing something fundamentally wrong here?
I would be really thankful for any advice.
Have a good evening!
