Hi there,
I'm trying to make Turbo Boost usable on my laptop, it pretty much doesn't work at all right now.
Right now, anytime the CPU is used, it stays at 3.3ghz for about 5-10 seconds then drops and starts going up and down wildly between 1.5ghz and 2.8ghz. Weirdly the throttle always start exactly at the same time as the fan going from "silent" mode to full spinning, not sure if this mean anything.
It's usually at 80°C when it starts throttling, but I have seen it stay at 3.3ghz for a few seconds after hitting 80°C so I don't think it's a temperature limit.
This is all while plugged to power, I don't care about Turbo Boost on battery.
While looking this issue up, I heard about Throttlestop and gave it a try.
Everytime the throttle starts, Limit Reasons has EDP Other (Ring) and PL1 (Core & GPU) turning red. Usually PL2 turns red a few seconds before that (Core & GPU) but that doesn't trigger throttling, then it goes back to yellow.
I tried undervolting and modifying Power Limits based on a few threads I found about the 8250U. Anything I change doesn't seem to have any effect on the time before throttle (5-10s). For now, I have reset everything to default. I'm adding the current settings and bench results as attachments.
Do you have any idea what the issue could be, and if there's anything I can try to fix it?
Thanks
