ThrottleStop and intel Core i7-4500u #31

Throttlestop is an application that allows the control of voltages and frequency of some Intel processors, mobile processors as well, get it here link

the first issue is that the documentation doesn't mention that it requires Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 x86, which is a common mistake in plenty of applications, so get it here link
 
 After installing vcredist_x86.exe, run throttlestop.exe


If changes are made it is required to press Turn On button, that will change the taskbar icon from green to red.

Under FIVR windows, adjust the CPU voltage, in this case undervolting, in this case use the same -60.5mV(later changed for 55.7mV for low power stability) for the CPU and GPU :


turn on: Save voltages immediately.

Option :
Disable Turbo will limit CPU frequency to 1800Mhz
Set Turbo maximum frequency using turbo Ratio limits:


for the case of the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga Enterprise, the temperature drop is significant, from the usual 3200Mhz for a couple of seconds and then bellow 2Ghz, now it can hold 2400Mhz stable and under 70ยบ.
