I own an Acer Travelmate B311RN-32-P28U notebook with a build-in fanless Pentium N6000 CPU which throttled heavily especially when connected to one or more external monitors. I want to share here my Throttlestop settings which turned my fan free N6000 Notebooks into a true rocket without any overheating an throttling. At first Speed Shift EPP should be set to 220.

Then it is necessary the change the Turbo Power Limits according to the following screenshot:

Additionally I found that the default setting of the cooling mechanism of Windows 10 or 11 in the "Energy Options" is "active cooling". which means Windows 10 or 11 assumes a cooling fan. So this has to be set to "passive cooling" according to the following screenshot:

It is in French because generally I am working with a French system. "Stratégie de refroidissement système" means "System cooling".

With the above settings my N6000 Notebook does no longer experience any throttling or overheating and all applications like GIMP run about 3x faster.

I guess my settings work for all fanless INTEL Nxxx processors, i.e. also the new N100, N150, N200 and N250 processors.

I hope to help a lot of people with my settings.
