My laptop is ROG GL503GE Core : I7 8750h Graphic : 1050ti The problem I'm facing is when I run stress test using Intel XTU CPU frequency drops from 3.8 to 3.0. The laptop is plugged in. Also there is power limit throttling(gets yellow while running stress test)..
Execute HWMonitor concurrently to observe temperatures. Probably experiencing thermal throttling.
Recognizing the detail, the processor runs at 2.2GHz, which means it's not experiencing thermal throttling—it's simply operating with reduced clock speed because of heat limits. Your explanation is accurate and well-articulated.
Unclear why many think you're experiencing thermal throttling, especially since you mention power limit throttling. These settings determine your CPU speed. In Intel XTU, what are they configured for? The 8750H can handle over 80 Watts during certain stress tests. Intel specifies a 45W TDP, and most OEMs align with this by setting the long-term turbo power limit to 45W. This will trigger power limit throttling when running the XTU stress test. Some devices let you raise these thresholds, while others are fixed at 45W. Have you adjusted the turbo limits in XTU before?
What is the maximum capacity I should consider for this device?
