Problems with performance reduction on i7 4910MQ running Dell Precision M4800
Hey everyone, welcome! I’m really new here and just started using my new laptop with the M4800. After running some benchmarks, I was surprised to see the 4910MQ struggling compared to my W530’s 3840QM. Checking XTU and now Throttlestop has shown that the CPU is constantly throttling. I’ve set an undervolt of -95mV, which lets me keep around 3GHz per core during multi-core tests, but it’s nowhere near the full 3.7GHz. The temperatures are normal, the fan isn’t spinning too hard, but I’m not sure how to stop this throttling. I saw PowerCut in Throttlestop, but I don’t know what it does or how to use it. Before adjusting voltage, I could only sustain 2.3GHz all cores under stress. It seems there might be some strict power limits preventing the 4910MQ from reaching its maximum performance. I’ve tweaked other settings, but I’m still not sure what’s going on. Any advice or guidance would be super helpful—I’m open to sharing any details!
Hello Friend, I own the same laptop and processor. If you'd like, we can aim for a performance of 4910mq. I can reach 3.4 GHz across all cores with full CPU utilization and undervolt settings. Do you have the option to disable this feature in the BIOS? Can you click overclock in the settings? Perhaps it would be possible if my processor is already set for overclocking since I started using it. Let me know if you want to reach [email protected]. See you!
