how do u stop power throttling on default value?
You don't.

Increase the power limits and you get less throttling and more heat.

Keep the power limits low for less heat and more power limit throttling.

You want to have both no throttling and no extra heat. That is impossible.
 
Power throlling caused by increased power limits for example. Try Decreasing the power though
 
okay i increased my power limit to fix power throttling but i think my cpu lost performance its pretty visible in games how do i get my performance back?
 
Do some testing to see what settings are best for your computer.

Hi unclewebb could you tell me that what does powercut feature do? and how do i use it some people said it works on 4th gen cpu
 
what does powercut feature do?
PowerCut tricks the CPU into misreporting the CPU power consumption data. I do not know if this feature will work on your CPU.

To use PowerCut, set the VCCIN voltage to somewhere around 1.75V to 1.80V and then press the Apply button. This voltage should show up in the FIVR monitoring table.

Check the PowerCut box and press the Apply button again. After I do this, my FIVR looks like this.

VCCIN shows that it is locked to a fixed value. To the right of the checked PowerCut box, it shows Enabled.

The secret is to only enable PowerCut when your computer is idle. On my 4700MQ, this trick completely disables any power limit throttling. I do not think this will do anything for you if your issue is EDP throttling. I think I remember someone using PowerCut on their 4th Gen U series CPU. It depends on how the BIOS has setup the CPU.
