Optimize your i7-10510u by reducing its clock speed for peak efficiency.
Optimize your i7-10510u by reducing its clock speed for peak efficiency.
You're looking to boost performance on your i7-10510 by lowering the voltage via throttle stop. Based on common practices, consider adjusting the voltage settings in ThrottleStop to a lower value (e.g., 65-70%) and ensuring the CPU cooler is adequate for the reduced heat output. Also, verify that your BIOS supports these changes and monitor temperatures closely. Let me know if you need further guidance!
When ThrottleStop is configured properly, the 10510U can achieve remarkable speed. https://i.imgur.com/NQHgK5G.png The issue you're facing stems from excessive heat. If your heatsink and fan can't maintain the CPU temperature at 25 watts, they won't handle the 50-watt demand. Your CPU reaches around 97°C. Consider overclocking the core and cache a bit more. That's likely all you can achieve.
Each CPU is distinct. You must evaluate your CPU to determine its core and cache offset preferences. The TS Bench provides a solid estimate. If it begins showing errors, you’ve likely exceeded safe limits and should reduce the overclock slightly. Perform both single-thread and full-load tests. Your CPU employs a higher multiplier when one core is running, so include full-load and partial-load checks on a laptop. The remaining configurations seem fine. Your power constraints match the cooling capacity you have. To boost performance, consider disassembling your laptop and applying liquid metal thermal paste instead of standard paste—this is quite advanced for most users.
I also have the same CPU, but the undervolting option is disabled, and the throttling is also affected. I own a Dell Inspiron 13 7391 with 16GB RAM and an i7-10510U processor. I use an external cooling pad, yet the laptop stays cool enough to feel comfortable inside. The issue is that I can't apply undervolting, which is currently grayed out. Can you assist?
Your laptop probably has a bios level undervolting lock because of the "plundervolt" hack on Intel CPUs. Unfortunately nothing can be done about that.
