The ThrottleStop C0% metric gives a precise reading on how much time your CPU spends in the C0 state—processing your game and background tasks. While the Task Manager shows 91% utilization, this is misleading when compared to reality. On a mobile Intel CPU with a big gap between base and turbo speeds, the Task Manager data doesn’t match up well. Your four-core CPU is being used effectively, but the situation isn’t as severe as what the graphs suggest.

If you wish to test further, run the TS Bench test with 4 threads enabled. If four out of eight threads are fully loaded, your CPU will dedicate half its time in the C0 state during the test. It will also spend more time in C0 while handling Windows background tasks. While testing with a 4-thread load, open Task Manager and switch between Performance and Details tabs. Do they display consistent information? How does this compare to C0% readings? Which data most accurately shows your CPU’s workload?

In the Limit Reasons section, when you notice EDP OTHER lighting up red under the GPU column, it indicates Intel GPU throttling—likely due to PP0 Current Limit. This could be a helpful safety measure. If this issue persists, consider raising the PP0 Current Limit and adjusting both FIVR IccMax values. The 7700HQ model has a 45W TDP limit. When ThrottleStop shows PL1 red, it means throttling is triggered by the Long Term Turbo Power Limit. Intel advises matching this limit to your processor’s TDP (typically 45W). You may be able to tweak it slightly higher in the TPL window to avoid throttling, provided temperatures remain normal. Just ensure your temperatures are within safe ranges. Your laptop is performing well—no adjustments needed.
