Hey y'all, long time lurker, first time poster. I have an Elitebook 840 G5 with the i5 8250U, and it has been extremely slow. I have used Throttlestop to squeeze some extra power, and I got it to go above the 0.4 GHz limit. It usually hovers @ 0.8-1.2 GHz, and doesn't go past that. I have tried everything, and I have been pulling my hair out because of this. The max tdp for this laptop is ~ 5w , which is just shocking, since this is a 15w cpu, and Idk which engineer thought it would be aa good idea to make the max tdp 5w for this cpu, but they did. I have been dealing with this for the past few months, but I've had it with this. Attached are my configs that I use with throttlestop. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.
