Hello,
I have the T480 with 8350U and MX150, BIOS version 1.37 (dated 4/20/21).
When I run CSGO for a few minutes, both the CPU and GPU get throttled heavily as can be seen in the ThrottleStop log file attached.
In particular, at about timestamp "21:14:32" things take a turn for the worse.
I've attached screenshots of my ThrottleStop settings; apologies for so many screenshots, but I really can't tell what's going on.
I also attached my ThrottleStop.ini as a .txt file since .ini isn't an allowed extension.
Most notably, I see some PL1/2 throttling in both the CPU and GPU after checking the Limit Reasons once the throttling is in effect.
I should also note that I'm using ASUS GPU Tweak II as mentioned in this reddit thread in order to increase the MX150 temperature limit from 70 C to 75 C.
It does seem to work properly since the log shows GPU temps higher than 70 C. Before doing this, it would stay below 70 C but downclock quite aggressively to maintain this.
I haven't disabled any of the Intel DPTF drivers or Lenovo Intelligent Thermal Solution, if that's relevant.
Appreciate the help!
