Throttling limits for i9-9820x EDP settings
Throttling limits for i9-9820x EDP settings
Hey there! I see you're dealing with a HP prebuilt PC featuring an i9-9820X, 3080 Ti, and a 1300 watt gold-rated PSU. You mentioned the Intel XTU is constantly throttling current or EDP limits, even when nothing is running. For example, when opening a Chrome tab, it still gets throttled. I've attached a screenshot of the Intel XTU settings for reference. Anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this? I've already verified the power cables are secure and haven't noticed any issues there. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm hoping you can help me out! Thanks in advance for your time.
HP is well recognized for installing underpowered VRMs on their motherboards for prebuilt systems, which means they have limited current ratings you shouldn’t attempt to bypass. If you’re determined to try, use Throttlestop since it handles this kind of adjustment better, but monitor the VRM temperature to ensure it stays below around 110°C.
You're exploring throttle stop and its impact on your setup. To manage VRM temperature, focus on adjusting power limits and monitoring heat levels. The processor's temperature staying under 60°C during stress tests suggests proper cooling or thermal management is working. Consider tweaking fan speeds or airflow if needed.
If you make the temperature sensor accessible through software, you can track its status with HWiNFO. But not every board supports this feature, so if your unit lacks it, you shouldn't turn off power restrictions.
