Memory Access

[Manwe]

Hi Team,

I use throttlestop quite sucessfully but recently I have been getting this error when playing WoW and having throttlestop running:

Here scrrenshots of my settings:

Its worth noting this only happens with WoW.

Does anyone have an idea what might cause this behaviour?

Thanks for the help.

this only happens with WoW

It looks like a bug in that game. To troubleshoot this problem, exit ThrottleStop and shutdown your computer so it can reset itself. When you boot back up, don't run ThrottleStop. If you still get this memory error then it is probably the game that is bugged. If the memory error does not happen then your ThrottleStop undervolt settings might not be 100% stable.

I would check the mV Boost @ 800 MHz box and I would set that to 150. This setting can help with a lot of random crashes. When you undervolt the Intel GPU you also have to undervolt the iGPU Unslice. When testing, I would not undervolt either of these. I would also not undervolt the CPU E cache when testing. Reduce the core and P cache to -100 mV and see if that is OK in game.

Do you have a Nvidia GPU? Are you undervolting or overclocking it? When troubleshooting, get rid of as many variables as possible. Only change one thing at a time so when there is a problem, it will be a lot easier to figure out why.

thanks a lot. I used your recommended settings and I have not had it crash for a few hours.

what is mV Boost @800Mhz?

I have tried to undervolt my laptops 4080 but had no success, so its just running as is.

what is mV Boost @800Mhz?

Undervolting reduces voltage across the entire curve, both at low MHz and at max MHz. This can cause stability issues. Using mV Boost adds voltage but only at low MHz. This has helped users undervolt more with fewer stability issues.

When you are confident that you are stable, then you can try undervolting further. Take your time. It can take days to come up with settings that work well across all the games and apps you run.

Will do, thank you
