So i take it your not using AWCC ? What are your thermal settings in the bios ?
That makes perfect sense because if i disab le c1state it is never shut off when i load widnows and awcc
From what i understand the M8r2 has undervolt protection so when i use throttle stottle it only allows me to use performance wndows profile and turns off C1state. I been using AWCC oc2 with the -25 voltage offset and that seems to allow temps to drop to around what you are seeing because throttle stop cant adjust voltaage with voltage protect in place by dell. Thats what i understand but i hope im wrong
I picked up a Samsung Pro today and i put it in the laptop. The thermal shield i order hasnt come yet. Is that thing going to do anything ? https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=39171
The drive in the machine is a 2260 nvme drive 1tb.
I dont know if this is a issue or not but everytime i try to install the driver it has installed but this is still there. I dont understand why. can anyone help ?
Whats the specs of you machine ? I would be aprehensive updating the bios too much either upgrade or dowgrade. What i was taught is if it works dont mess with it unless you are having issues
After copying the Throttle stop set up This seemed to improve temps because this thing keeped wanting to jump to 95c to 100c but not all the time more like spikes while running at ok temps
If im being completely honest i dont think Dell allows you to modify any voltages. I think a custom bios is needed because i dont think with this machine you can actually undervolt
Update The M18R2 4080 turns out the higher End ones come with Liquid metal which i didnt know. I couldnt udnerstand why the temps were so low. I dont even need to run throttle stop with this thing. I was hitting 31k in R23 no throttling The 4070 one i do because it gives best performance with the ability to undervolt
I just picked up another M18R2 this one ha the 4080 in it. What im noticing is bios 1.10 allows you to turn overclocking on and off but doesnt allow you to do anything in AWCC. Im curious if bios 1.11 is on by default ?
Update so i updated the bios so both laptops are running on 1.11 but
4080 laptop allows for the Overclocking to be enabled and adjusted while the other 4070 does not. Im curious if its power brick related
Update so AWCC has no overclocking function and its in AWCC so im not sure how to control the fans
Hey there thanks for all the help. I downloaded throttllestop. I noticed that windows didnt allow me to use a ultra performance power profile. Throttle stop seemed to have changed that also removed C1 States that stopped the clocks dropping to 800 mhz. Do you have any experience with Intel speedsteps?
Also here is the picture of the overlocking im not sure why its greyed out but its there
