Hello @unclewebb and everyone! Hope someome can help me with my issue or point me at the right direction...
So, here is my issue... I have a laptop paired with an i5 7200u, which have a nominal tdp of 15W that I cannot change in any way... Editing Power limits in throttlestop doesn't change the 15W cap. I read in some other post that sometimes the tdp is set in various places, and therefore the lowest value Wins. I already checked MMIO and the Pl bit is already set to 2, I dont know where else I can look into It using OS...
I have a full unlocked BIOS, but changing the tdp there didn't work either... I tried Messing with dptf and thermal configs in BIOS but nothing worked... Under cpu Power options there is a "platform Power limit 1 and 2" with a value of "95000" but everytime i set a diferent value, or even disable, It resets to stock settings on save and exit. Maybe that tdp is controlled by EC FW? If thats the case, can I mod that firmware in any way?
i Hope @unclewebb can Tell me If there is any specific BIOS setting, ir something else that I should change to throttlestop be able to configure tdp...
I know that cpu can reach at least 25w by Nature, but acer does not facilitates
The temps are always low btw, so i know thermal limits are not the problem
