    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    I launched TS again. The undervolting has reset to zero. However the PL1,2,4 numbers are the same as I last showed (new pic attached) where we thought I had made an error. When I did my early changes I took photos of screens before changing values so I could reset. I did not take any of that...

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    Ok. Quick test at lunchtime. I deleted TS .ini file (did not roll back nvidia driver). Msfs20 now runs at high 80's CPU but not throttled, high 70s low 80s Gpu on low settings. If I bump to high settings SS etc then Cpu low 80s, gpu mid 80s. This is with pl1=pl2 =45w in CC. I changed to 35w mid...

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    Thanks. My response was poorly written. I am not doing a CMOS reset. However, if I ever did need to do one in the future would my drive swap be an issue or not? Ref TS I will delete the .ini file. I would quite like to keep it as an option for undervolting only, once everything else is up and...

    Thanks. If we ignore TS for a moment, are these good CC settings for sustained gaming?

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    Thanks, how do I do that if you dont mind me asking? I was nervous about a CMOS reset. After I received the laptop I swapped windows from the 1Tb to the 500gb drive by cloning with Macrium. I was not sure whether a CMOS reset would point it back to the 1tb drive where there is no longer a copy...

    PCSPECIALIST IONICO RTX3070 NVIDIA UPDATE - THROTTLESTOP

    Just confirming my driver unsurprisingly is 465.89 as well. As I already have other issues it may be cleaner for cenksenci to try?

    PCSPECIALIST IONICO RTX3070 NVIDIA UPDATE - THROTTLESTOP

    Well that's interesting. I did the Nvidia driver update yesterday before I noticed the CPU high temps. May or may not be connected to my problem? I need to change some settings anyway.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    I presume I need to drop the cover and remove the cmos battery for Thanks. I had not realised throttle stop updated the BIOS? Do I remove the lower cover and the board battery for a few mins? Anything I need to be aware of?

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    By the way, I just noticed GPU usage 99% in the pic. I think I caught a peak, normally 50-90%.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    Fair play. The laptop I copied from was almost identical. Anyway, i have taken throttlestop out of the task scheduler as i could not reset the turbo power limits and i could not remember their original settings. I assume preventing launch reverts to standard. Obviously i have also lost any...

    Agreed. Copied another user blindly. All seems ok. Will reset later.

    Thanks. I undervolted in TS. But then set power levels as well without fully understanding what I was doing. I will reset.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico CPU 90deg, usage 45%?

    Hello Earlier stress tests suggested my thermals were good (I should repeat). I have been recently playing MSFS20 in VR. Thought I'd take a look at temps today and was surprised. See attached pics. Clearly CPU thermal throttling but at only 45% usage???? Why is that? Have I caused this with the...

    Sorry. Tons on Steam but I only play MSFS and HLA at the moment. Filter steam for VR and there seems to be alot. You'll have to check reviews.

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on this Ionico 17

    Sorry for late reply. Also, are you sure 500gb is enough storage? I went with samsung 500gb for op sys. Yes way too big but fast. Another samsung 1Tb for games. Same ram and a 3070. I am very happy. Noting your comments, I play HL Alyx on max settings wirelessly with OQ2. It's amazing and blows...

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico laptop: Guide how to Undervolt, Power Limit, Fan controlling and Memory tuning

    Thanks Macco. I undervolted mine at -99mv with TS. No BSOD yet. What would be your CC recommendations for a gaming profile? I have maxed most parameters but set CPU offset temp (10deg) so presumably 90degC limit.

    PCSPECIALIST GOOD NEWS: Ionico 17 new BIOS was just sent to me by PCS!

    Ok. Yesterday I have run MSFS20 fine on ultra... lots of fan but did not check temps for an hour, then onto VR, HLA after an hour the laptop made a squeak noise and froze? Restarted and all ok. Today ran MSFS20 trying to set up VR and noticed CPU hit 90, squeak and looked like throttling but no...
