I currently have a i9750h laptop I used to run a 24 watt power limit at 3.4 GHz running temps like 70c to 80c where I like it but randomly about 4 months ago after a game crashed on my PC my CPU all the sudden my CPU was hitting power limit and is capped at 2.6 GHz running the same temperatures but now I am missing out on performance when I uncap the power limit it runs at 45w to reach my old speeds again or else it will stay at 2.6ghz and when I am using 45 watts my CPU reaches 97c so I just don't understand how I used to run 3.4ghz with 24 watts and now i need 45 watts to run the same speed again. I have tried loading default bios settings and changing settings on throttlestop and reinstalling throttlestop. In this image my CPU shows power limit sign when the pl1 and the pl2 is set to 24 with turbo ratio limits 34 which I used to run before. Hopefully there is a solution for me to be able to run my old speeds at a low power limit again.

I do not know what has changed. To enforce a 24W power limit, check the MMIO Lock box and check both Clamp boxes in the Power Limits Control section of the TPL window.

If I owned a laptop that could not run at its full rated power without overheating, I would blow out any dust and I would replace the thermal paste with Honeywell PTM 7950.

Yea I know how to enforce it just when I enforce it my speeds are low. Don’t people use throttlestop to lower their temps if they were able to run at their rated power they wouldn’t need it
 
Most users that are forced to run their CPUs at 60% of the rated TDP power have a cooling problem. The 15°C difference between the first two cores when they are equally loaded shows that the thermal paste has likely pumped out and failed. You need to fix that problem.
