i7-9750H having issue with PL2, EDP, and sometimes BD prochot appearing under the limit reason table

[Kodiak_Shepherd]

Good Afternoon,

I currently own a Acer Predator Helios 300 with an Intel i7-9750H and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. After receiving the laptop and using throttlestop and with the help of some tutorials on YouTube, I managed to significantly reduce the temperature from ~ 85-95 (stock) to ~ 60-75 (undervolt). Not until recently I found the limit reason table while trying out a new game I purchase (RDR2) and found during gameplay I would receive certain codes like (mostly) PL2, EDP and sometimes BD Prochot. When they do appear its shown as yellow, as I haven't seen anyone of those go red fortunately. I understand that for one the PL2 error is related to the Turbo power limits long and short and I have tried changing those number but nothing have worked. Not sure if this last part is important but while these code appear while I game, the game itself remains unaffected as in no lag, or slow down, not even a blue screen of death (which was common before I used throttlestop), and the temperature remains in the 60-69 degrees while in prolong gameplay. Should I worry about this? Is there any way to fix it?

-Thank you.

I managed to significantly reduce the temperature

You have used ThrottleStop to significantly reduce your CPU performance. That is why your CPU is running so cool. You have used Disable Turbo so the CPU is running at a maximum of 2600 MHz instead of 4000 MHz while gaming. You have also cut the default PL1 turbo power limit in half from 45W to 22W. You have set the short term limit to 28W. A well cooled 9750H can run at over 70W.

Most 9750H run at over 90°C for hours and hours while playing some games. These are normal operating temperatures for modern gaming laptops. I prefer maximum performance over a cool running CPU.

no lag

If you are happy with the performance of your laptop then there is no need to change anything. Most of the throttling being reported by ThrottleStop is because your ThrottleStop settings are throttling your CPU.
