I would leave the temperature limit at 75-78°C since it is a very thin laptop with a limited cooling system.
I would like to see your original curve.
What I had recommended was that you overclock the entire curve by 150 to 200MHz and then flatten the curve around the 800mV point.
This way...
Do a Google or YouTube search for tutorials.
It's very simple.
Example (see from minute 27:52 Manual Undervolting):
To change the temperature limit you must change the temperature in GPU Temp Target and apply.
Then let us know if your system improved during games.
From your log, I believe that your gaming problems are not caused by the CPU, but by the GPU temperature limit.
Your GPU is always at 64°C, forcing its temperature limit, which is very low.
It looks like the ridiculous temperature limit that Dell set for older Inspirons with entry-level MX x50...
Your GPU seems to be limited to only 64°C and as a result, during gameplay it remains in thermal throttling, causing its clock to constantly vary up to 600MHz.
This makes gaming completely unfeasible.
I recommend that you change the GPU temperature limit to something like 70 or 75°C.
This...
I have an Inspiron 16 Plus with this same Ultra 7 155H.
It's a locked CPU, so overclocking and undervolting are out of the question. I unlocked CFG Lock and Overclocking Lock in the hidden BIOS (with Smokeless UMAF) and now I can change the ratios, but I don't use this option.
I prefer to...
I believe there is a small difference between your Cinebench score and Unclewebb's.
His score is in the short, single run test, which should be around 30s, while yours I believe was in the 10 minute test.
His 14900HX reaches ~250W for this score and that is impossible to maintain for 10...
Yes, I use MSI Afterburner.
With PTM 7950 on the CPU and GPU, you won't reach 75°C on the MX450, unless the ambient temperature is very high and under heavy loads for long periods of time.
In any case, with an adjusted undervolt you will never reach 75°C.
You can also change the temperature...
The first thing to do is to change the factory thermal paste, as any quality compound will provide a good gain in thermal headroom.
I tested it on my Noctua NT-H2, Thermalright TFX, PTM 7950, and they all delivered a big improvement.
Thermalright TFX has performance practically the same as PTM...
What laptop is this?
Is it an Inspiron 5510?
I had one that I gave to my brother a few months ago and I replaced the original thermal paste with PTM 7950 in the first week of use.
Originally it could sustain ~28W in Cinebench under ideal conditions.
Now, under the same conditions, it...
I believe you can break 40k by simply increasing just the E-cores as there is still plenty of thermal headroom for the efficiency cores.
Maybe keeping the P-cores at 5.2GHz and boosting the E-cores to 4.5GHz or 4,6GHz (or higher if temperatures allow).
I thought that on the 14900HX the E-cores would only reach 4.1GHz at lighter loads (below 50%) and 3.9GHz above 50% or full load.
Fantastic result!
To run the CBR23 at these clocks without undervolting you should need something close to 300W...
Unclewebb, with this 230W consumption can your i9 reach and sustain its maximum clocks (P-cores = 5.2GHz and E-cores = 3.9GHz) throughout the Cinebench R23 test?
Checking MMIO Lock is to lock the power limits you have set so that the original setting does not change the values dynamically, but it appears this is not possible on your machine.
Did your system have performance mode selected in the Razer control software?
Are there performance profile...
