System receiving an unexpected score instead of the expected result
I took out the battery some time ago and left it connected to the wall outlet. It seems the brick isn’t providing much power—should I consider putting it back?
It shouldn't be an issue. I'd verify your temperatures first. Installing lm-sensors with sudo will set it up, and you should see the sensor readings it detects. It might also recommend another package. Since I don't have an x86 Mint distribution to try, you can proceed directly.
The 7500U is a budget CPU with a 15W power consumption rating. When operating at maximum capacity, it includes built-in power limits to prevent overheating. @PixelHuh Some Dell laptops experience throttling when the battery is disconnected. Linux doesn’t offer any solutions to resolve the throttling issues typical of that time. Return to Windows and discover how to apply ThrottleStop.
Share some ThrottleStop images while your CPU runs slowly. Show the FIVR, TPL, and Limit reasons screens. This will display why throttling occurred.
It seems the information is a bit mixed up. The main point is about preventing overheating and managing CPU voltage under synthetic loads. The advice suggests paying attention to specific guidelines rather than general rules.
