Sure that you have removed the power limits inside the bios? 1) completely uninstall dragon center & MSI SDK (you can gain A LOT uninstalling the two, dunno what it does on the CPU but it does it BAD) and restart the pc. If you want to tweak the fan, use silent option. If you want to tweak...

just a 3dmark error, the memory was at 2000 MHz!

@rruff made a (maybe obvious) discovery: after shifting from 84 to 0 the Speedshift-EEP in Throttlestop, graphics scores jumped up from 9050 to 9227. Suggestion: in the afterburner curve, try to rise the low voltage values before the high ones. A good start-point is to watch the 3dmark / other...

After a very basic overclock (+120 clock, +1000 memory and no fine-tuning) I can reach 8900 in time-spy graphics score. But I can't go higher with fine-tuning on the curve. I've seen that the top score on 3dmark timespy, with same CPU and GPU, it's over 10'000 on graphics score but I can't...

ok so it seems like actually a fused value from factory

UV settings? If you mean the undervolt, the error was before that At this point I have only one doubt about this: 47 is your max limit or you can raise over it? Not that you have to actually test the stability of it, but to understand if it's set as a fused maximum limit inside the CPU or not.

Good to know. The other doubt of a defect comes from some weeks earlier. I use the free version of VMware player for internship purposes and with the old i5-4000 series I had no problems. Now, with the i7-10750, when I create a VM and set to virtualize performance counters, I receive an error...

If it is a factory choice I'm ok with it. My only concern is if it could be a symptom of some kind of defective CPU. Or my fault. A week ago I tried to set the prochot to 98/99, closer to the 100°C intel's safety limit, and the laptop shutted down immediately when the temp has reached those...

Now I am a little bit disappointed and confused. I've proceeded with the downgrade of every previous bios version, deleted the mcupdate DLL from system32 (so reverted to 0xC8 microcode) and the maximum cache ratio is still 43. How is that possible?

@unclewebb , I was trying to modify the "Non Turbo Ratio" parameter: now is 25, max is 26 and min is 0. But when I change it (with or without locking), even after a reboot and/or a sleep-wake cycle, nothing seems to change. What is it's purpose?

I have to reinstall timespy, but before the CPU undervolt I remember something like 8500 or similar! Before the gpu overclock I think I'll wait the additional fans, for now there is alredy too much heat inside this piece of plastic/metal!

@rruff my conclusion is that the only difference is the size: with more room for dissipation, a 17'' laptop can push down temperatures by 3-4 degrees in the 90°-95°C range, the exact difference that I need to avoid completely the thermal throttling at 75W. I think I'll buy a cooling pad with...

One iteration (not the standard 10min) reaches the 94°C at the very end

Ok tried your first post guide + core at -0.165, cache+gpu+igpu+sa -0.06, Speedshift 0, disabled tpl lock in fivr, but I'm still temps limited: at some point in C23 it goes above 95°C and then throttles. The max I can get is 8608 with max power fans. So sad. Edit: uninstalled dragon center...

Yeah. That's a side effect. The main purpose, from what I read, is to dynamically set the voltage according to temps and at the same time boosting the frequencies when temp and power are under specific values (65°C and 40W on laptop's CPUs). Have you set a fixed value for speedstep? Maybe the...
