I followed the same procedure as for DPTF. Uninstall all devices from device manager and then do the reg edit, however looking at my device manager now the Dynamic Tuning stuff is all back so guess the reg edit didn't work. I guess you will have to uninstall it every time you want full gas...

It's the clamshell. 2mm Thermal Grizzly pads is what I used. I got the thickest pads I could find to try and ensure the gap between the mobo and the case was cleared. If you really wanna dissipate heat into the metal case remove the reflective tape they put on the inside of the case, just know...

Update 2: The pads definitely help, they ensure that the hard set PL1 is locked at 25W and stays there. Without the pads PL1 fluctuates down, this lowers the clock speed and also lowers the temps. See the graphs taken from HWinfo attached. This of an entire run of Cinebench R23 multi core.

Ah bummer, OK so trying to edit the bios to unlock the voltage control is never gonna work. OK then you've saved me some time messing around there, thanks. Gotta be honest I wasn't watching it like a hawk the entire time but yeah pretty sure the whole run was around 25W. Are there any good...

Yeah when this thing is going for the few seconds it does want to give you full gas it's glorious. But PL1 gets hit pretty quick no matter what I set PL2 at, anything above the PL1 set by the EC and it drops to that, so I just decided to remove the PL2 limit seeing as it's gonna drop to PL1...

My goal is get every ounce of performance out of this chip, I don't care about noise or temps. I thought my issues were thermals - so far I have: Repasted with liquid metal Removed the reflective tape from the inside of the case Put thermal pads on the heat pipes to transfer heat to the metal...
