Cpu throttles to 0.8GHz due to "GPU POWER"

The log file does not show that. The log file shows clock modulation throttling. That is why your computer feels so sluggish. The last screenshot you posted above shows that you did not check Clock Mod in ThrottleStop. That always needs to be checked.

Your laptop uses so many different throttling methods that it is like game of whack a mole. Every time you solve one problem, a new problem pops up.

Clock modulation throttling starts at 12:03:06 and gets worse and worse until you finally go into sleep mode at 12:06:39.

When you resume, clock modulation throttling continues. It slowly recovers because you are not doing anything too strenuous. This is typical Dell. They used (abused) clock modulation throttling for years going back well into the Core 2 Duo era of 2008 and before that too. Sick, pathetic company. I stopped buying their laptops when I first discovered this Dell "feature" and have never gone back.

I lock and set pp0 power limit to 0

If that does not work, clear the Lock box, shutdown to reset the CPU, boot back up and try locking this to 58 like before.

You just have to keep trying different tricks to get the best possible results. It is all trial and error.

Yes I have found the best way.That is to put non turbo ration to 1 and check mod clock and mutiplier ( it go down to 2.7 ghz from 3.5 ghz boost clock , because of those 2 gpu power and core power).Interestingly , when i saw the 2 limit there , i put laptop into sleep mode and open it up again .those 2 limit had gone and clock raised immediately to 3.5 and stay there for about 5mins ,after 5 mins those limit were back again and throttle to 2.7 ghz.Dell WTF?

Some laptops lock some of the power limit registers when you first boot up but forget to lock them after you do a sleep resume cycle. Your laptop might have that feature / bug. Try completely shutting down, boot up, do a sleep resume cycle and then after that, start ThrottleStop.

You are not the first one to have some serious problems with this Dell laptop model. It looks like you have hit the wall. Not much else you can do.

Some magic happened . i surfed on the net and was looking for a new soluiton , there it is .Disabling the Intel power managment on regtristry ( dont know if i need to do it after a window update ) but indeed worked.With all your solution combine with disabling the intell ppm.I have now full turbo boost with no more throttling occures .here is the log file and play leauge for 40 mins and max setting, ofc with backcover off ( otherwise it would melt my cpu)

I had this issue when I had the Asus G74sx laptop with an Intel 7 2670QM and the Geforce GTX 560M 2GB and the solution for that was to disable the PROCHOT option on the BIOS and voila. The issue is that it required a custom BIOS flash that was developed by someone in the forum which was very easy to flash by using a hacked Asus BIOS flash tool, didn't require any hardware modding for that. Of course that was required in order to expose the PROCHOT option to be disabled.

Well disabling PROCHOT didn't solve my problem , and there is no custom bios for my dell e6540 so yea

Can you show us what you changed in the registry? Anyone that has this throttling problem would like to know how to fix it.

Well , with all your solution combine with what i did .here is what i did.
First , open regedit ( retristry) ,then Locate Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm , click on the intel ppm, there should be a Dword name Start on the left panel , open it and change the value to 4 , that is it.i Also try disabling the intelppm through command prompt
First , click your mouse on reset with your Shift pressed down , then go to Troubleshoot->Advanced Setting->Command promt . ,check if the command promt is heading at the Window/system32 , if it is then type in 'cd drivers' and then type 'ren intelppm.sys intelppm.sys.bak' and exit.Doing this however is like make you cpu run higher than base clock and the pocess powermamangent in the Power plan will disapear.But i find this maybe the only cure for this throttliong since there wont be any throtling.
If you want to enalble it again just change the Start key back to 3 and using command promt to rename it by doing the above way and type in 'ren intelppm.sys.bak intelppm.sys'

well here i am again about this DELL .Yea. after disable cpu intelppm , all your work combine .And i came up with this answer.My method do nothing (it may throttle less but it is still there).After researching and testing. I see that in the hwinfo64 , there is a sensor about Amibient ( that is vrm temp aprrox).When testing with games , i saw that if the Amibient pass 70 degrees ,throttling will occur and lower my cpu clock to 2.7 ghz.Then after the ambient temp cool down a bit.The throttling disappear and back to 3.6 ghz boost clock.And then repeat.Pass 70 > throltting my cpu . cool down <70 degrees then it no throttle.So that how dell throttle.Set the maximun temp of Ambient to 70.My cpu temp were 75 whole time which is perfect.Yea so no more dell laptop .The only way to solve this is to mod the cooling sytem to lower the vrm temp , as long as it is not 70 degrees.Full power.

I know this thread is old but i wanna ask something.Can you unlock the non turbo ratio after we lock it ourselves and then change its value?
