The version of ThrottleStop you are using is more than 3 years old. You need to update ThrottleStop.
ThrottleStop is a small application designed to monitor for and correct the three main types of CPU throttling that are being used on many lapto

Ask Dell to explain why your CPU is being power limited to only 28W. You paid for a laptop with a 45W CPU. The performance of your computer is being reduced so power consumption does not exceed 28W. That is not right. Make sure you have installed the latest BIOS version for your laptop. This is available on Dell's website.
Dell laptops usually come with their own power plan management software. Do you have this Dell program installed? Try setting this software to the highest possible performance. Some plans for cool and quiet will reduce the power limits like you are seeing. Some power plans for maximum performance will increase the CPU fan noise. Maybe adjusting this can help you.
Your screenshot shows that you have set Speed Shift EPP to 0. This tells the CPU to run at full speed when lightly loaded. Your CPU will run hotter if you have a lot of tasks running in the background. Change EPP to 80 or 128 and see if that helps with fan noise when using the internet.
With only Google Chrome open, here is how my computer looks when the CPU is idle.
The C0% is very low. Some cores are almost completely inactive. When your computer is idle, what does ThrottleStop report for the average C0%? A 9750H should average 0.5% to 1.0% in the C0 state when idle. The C0% when idle should not be jumping up and down. If you have a problem, open the Task Manager and go to the Details tab. You need to find out if there is anything running on your computer that does not need to be running all of the time. One bad program can create a lot of heat and fan noise.
Also check the C state information. An idle computer can have the individual cores spending 99% of their time in the core C7 state.
Idle cores help reduce CPU temperatures and fan noise.
