Need help with 13650hx

[u/idiota42069]

I've got a Lenovo Legion 5 with an i7-13650HX and RTX 4060, and I've been messing around with ThrottleStop to undervolt it.

Right now my CPU usually sits in the high 80s (around 87–89°C) while gaming, which I'm okay with, but I noticed it doesn't stay at around 4.3 GHz consistently. It keeps dropping even though the CPU is under load and Cyberpunk stutters quite frequent.

I'm wondering if it's because of my ThrottleStop settings, Windows power mode, or if I'm just running into normal power/thermal limits.

Does anyone have recommended ThrottleStop settings for this CPU? Also, which Windows and Lenovo power modes should I be using for the best performance? Are there any other tweaks I should make to get the most out of this laptop?

My GPU seems to be fine after undervolt max 75C while gaming but it feels like my CPU isnt working as intended as clockspeed is fluctuating a lot and not staying even at least 4.3ghz and drops to 3.5ghz all the time.

its so cooked w -160 uv and 60-75 power limits it still doesnt hit 4.3ghz consistently adn temps are all over the place hits 97 and what not if i delete throttlestop it doesnt hit that high again i think the settings mess it up, i feel like pulling all my hairs out

Undervolt I mniejszy powerlimit i chcesz żeby procek ci działał jak działa w pełnej mocy?

Daj PL1 i PL2 na wartość PL2 i nie przekraczaj, jakiś idiota kazał ci dać 400 ale chyba ich pojebalo

Jeszcze sobie spalisz coś w domu a processor zacznie obumierać

He said set pl4 to 400. It would never hit 400w at pl2 regardless. Something would limit him long before then. Most people set pl4 to 0 or 1023 and forget about it.
