Open up the Task Manager, click on the Details tab, click on the CPU heading and organize the tasks from highest to lowest CPU usage. Something is running on your computer to cause this. It is stuck in an infinite loop, sucking up CPU cycles. It might be an antivirus program or some other...

Did you click on the Turn On button yet? Go do some gaming and then upload a log file to www.pastebin.com and post a link here so I can have a look. If your laptop is not throttling, changing the voltage is not going to change the FPS any. Some laptops automatically adjust the CPU fan speed...

Did you try doing some gaming with the voltage set to 1.10 V? Did you try going a little lower to see if you could do that without any crashes. I am not sure if AIDA64 reports both types of clock modulation throttling that Dell likes to use. I would run a ThrottleStop log file and check...

ThrottleStop is setup OK but you need to click on the Turn On button if you want it to do anything. The problem I see is that your screenshot shows there is hardly any load on your CPU but your CPU temperatures are up in the 70°C range. That is too hot for idle. I just read your first post...

You can use ThrottleStop to under volt your Core 2 Duo CPU. The older CPUs like you have do not use FIVR so ignore those guides you found on the internet. To under volt using ThrottleStop, on the left side, set the multiplier to the maximum, set your maximum voltage, check the Set Multiplier...

Good advice but a Core i3 does not use Intel Turbo Boost so using ThrottleStop to disable this is not going to change anything. Either your laptop has a completely inadequate cooling solution or you didn't do a good enough job when you replaced the thermal paste. The heatsink has to make firm...

Here is how my Task Manager looks with Google Chrome minimized. Do you see a difference in CPU Usage compared to your screenshots? I would consider 20% CPU Usage while a computer is idle to be ridiculous. On a dual core CPU, this will kill gaming performance. Perhaps not all games but any...

Are you sure that FIFA 16 is using your Nvidia GPU? Check in the Nvidia Control Panel. Post a picture of how you have ThrottleStop setup. Some Lenovo laptops deliberately throttle the CPU soon after the Nvidia GPU is active. If you are having problems with throttling, using ThrottleStop to...

I have been using ThrottleStop on my Lenovo Y510P since the day I received it. On this laptop, Lenovo deliberately created a throttling scheme that disabled Intel Turbo Boost as soon as you started gaming which immediately decreased CPU performance by over 30%. Ouch, that hurts and it has...

On Core 2 Duo based processors, the FID multiplier and VID voltage are in the same CPU register and are applied together at the same time. You need to check the Set Multiplier option in ThrottleStop. Before you to that, make sure the VID voltage is set appropriately.

Not sure if this will make any difference but on the General tab I have it set to Configure for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008. I do not have "Stop if the computer switches to battery power checked". ThrottleStop was programmed with a very old version of Visual C++. I am surprised it...

I could not see your picture at tinypic. Maybe try posting some pics at imgur.com Tinypic is more like ad central. You can get direct links to images at imgur with zero advertising. Upload a picture of each tab of the Task Scheduler, General, Triggers, Actions, Conditions, Settings and post...

Did you use the Task Scheduler? Did you highlight the Task Scheduler Library and did you create a new task for ThrottleStop in that folder? If you use Google Chrome, ThrottleStop should be in the same folder as the GoogleUpdate tasks are. It works 10 out of 10 for me. Post some pics of how...

Are you using the Task Scheduler to start ThrottleStop? That is the most reliable way to start programs with Windows. If the Task Scheduler is not set up correctly, sometimes ThrottleStop might start up before the bottom task bar exists. When this happens, ThrottleStop has nowhere to minimize...

The clock modulation throttling that your laptop is experiencing is happening within the CPU. In your situation, it has nothing to do with the chipset. No one really knows why this happens. Even when the CPU temperature is fine this can still happen. It might be triggered by some other...
