i have an acer a515-51 laptop. My bios is already unlocked (Thanks, Lost_N_Bios), but i still get power throttling. This laptop uses an i7-7500U processor that have an tdp of 15w, but can go up to 25w. i usualy limit it to 15w or 16w. But when i use something more heavy, its starts throttling the power. Its no more throttle thermal, but its throttle power even when i have set a new limit in bios config.
I was searching about this problem, and found the possible cause is the limits set by the"Embedded Controller".
Is it possible to modify the embedded controller firmware to stop my throttling? I know its a risk, but my laptop throttling all the time is really annoying me, i cant do nothing a little heavier without throttling.
i hope someone can help, because i dont know more what do to with this laptop. Thanks…
Hi Daevas:
I have observed the operation of the fan speed control on a Samsung laptop with the RWEVERYTHING software viewing the EC and I found that it is based on a table saved in the BIOS. This table has temperature values on the one hand and default values that change the fan speed on the other.
Maybe in your case there is something similar.
