So did a little more testing. Setting the PL1 and PL2 limits in Intel XTU does indeed change both PL1 and PL2 Power Limit numbers in HWINFO. Changing TPL in throttlestop does effect cpu package power readings but does not change PL1 and PL2 power limit readings. I noticed that whatever wattage I...

Hi Martin, Thanks for quick response! Here is an image of the PL1 and PL1 Power Limits I am referencing. The PL1 is dynamically changing but very infrequent. Most of the time it stays at 85watt. The laptop has a manufacture "balanced" and "performance mode with FN+Q keyboard shortcut. This...

Good morning and happy Friday! I had a question regarding the PL1 Power Limit and PL2 Power Limit readings in HWINFO64. When changing the PL1 and PL2 power limits in either Intel XTU or Throttlestop it does not get reflected in HWINFO however I know it took effect as I can see the wattage...

Thanks for the reply Martin. I will try downgrading my bios to a known good version. I suspect it may be a bios issue and not HWiNFO related. Anyway thanks for the great program HWiNFO I use it on a daily basis for monitor system temps and cpu/gpu frequencies.

Hi Martin, I seem to be having the same issue except I have an Alienware 17 R3. My fans no longer spin on idle until under heavy load when using the "system auto" setting in hwinfo fan control. The fans used to spin on idle and now have higher system temps during idle and load and the bottom of...
