HP ProBook x360 11 G2 EE Notebook PC [Intel Core M3-7Y30, Intel Graphics 615] optimal settings for "gaming"

[PerfectO]

Hello,
Help me please to configure my HP ProBook x360 11 G2 EE Notebook PC [Intel Core M3-7Y30, Intel Graphics 615] with optimal settings for "gaming" in WOW. no battery inside, only AC adapter used. final BIOS P95 ver. 01.47 12/13/2022. DPTF is disabled in Bios and Windows registry, drivers uninstalled with .bat from GitHub. maximum performance power plan enabled. ThrottleStop 9.5 settings are below, but most of them are disabled. some of them I configured with many different advices from this forum or other sites.

Spoiler

Turbo boost is enabled in BIOS, but I receive red EDP OTHER in Limit Reasons for Core, GPU and Ring. if Turbo is disabled in ThrottleStop, EDP OTHER can be yellow for all columns.

So, during the fight in WOW my CPU load is 30-50% and has 1.2-1.5 GHz and GPU load is 99% with only 300-450 MHz in game if Turbo is disabled, with Turbo on, GPU frequency is even lower. and I have 10 fps in fight. Temperature is 60-67 C. maybe I can try to config Power Balance, so GPU can get more power while CPU is not loaded. I understand that this laptop is for other job, not gaming, but can someone help me find optimal BIOS, DPTF, ThrottleStop or some other settings, please?

Today I launched WOW with the same BIOS settings and DPTF disabled, but without ThrottleStop, and suddenly Intel Core M3-7Y30 is 0.7-1 GHz with 40-70% load, its GPU almost all the time stable 500 MHz and sometimes jumps for 1 second to 900 MHz with 40-95% load with 1.9-2.3 W GPU Power. and in fight are more stable 16–30 fps. PL1 4.5 W, PL2 15 W
after I turn on ThrottleStop with settings from "Spoiler", CPU has 1.2-1.6 GHz, 30-40% load, GPU 400-450 MHz with no jumps higher with 96-100% load with 1.4 W GPU Power. and in fight are 14–24 fps. PL1 15 W, PL2 20 W. EDP OTHER all three are red.
So, my ThrottleStop settings give me less GPU power = lower FPS. Max PKG Power is 4,5 W - PL1/PL2 changes are not working, or these are different parameters?

I found out that only when Turbo Boost is disabled, GPU is getting 1.8 W and more and can work stable on 500 MHz with rare 1 sec jumps to 900 MHz. tried to use old ThrottleStop 8.74 with new IGPU=20 (or 10) .ini option - it didn't help. but in this old version more options in FIVR are available to change, but I think they just don't work. even PL1 and PL2 didn't change. ThrottleStop 9.5 can change PL1 and Pl2 according to HWiNFO64.

In the TPL window I would check the MMIO Lock box. I would not check TDP Level or Power Balance boxes. Check PP0 Power Limit, clear the PP0 Power Limit Clamp box, set this to 0 and set the time to the minimum, 0.0010 seconds. Press Apply to reset this and then clear the PP0 Power Limit box and press Apply or OK. There is usually no reason to use this setting.

In the Power Limit Controls do not check Sync MMIO. Set PL1 and PL2 to 25W or to whatever values your cooling can handle without overheating. I would reboot after making all changes.

Having never owned or used a m3-7Y30, I have no idea if any of these suggestions will help. Turn on the Log File option and go play a game for 15 minutes. Show me some updated screenshots and attach a Log File to your next post. With the FIVR Locked and IccMax locked to only 24.00, it is probably going to be impossible to get maximum performance out of your CPU. Use whatever settings give you the best performance.

tried to use old ThrottleStop 8.74

Older TS versions did not show when features are locked out. I would suggest only using the latest version. The IGPU INI option still exists in the newer versions. It looks like you have a EDP throttling problem which is caused by IccMax being set too low. The power limits are not causing the problem so increasing the power limits will not solve an EDP throttling problem.
