    Need help understanding HWINFO thermal throttle meanings and where they come from

    Now I got the two throttles again but CPU die was not high

    Need help understanding HWINFO thermal throttle meanings and where they come from

    Thanks! I have known about the tooltips, I was just confused by their description as its quite general. Like "can be" does not mean "is from" ya know? Plus I read that if you have PROCHOT EXT and that is the only one, then it points to things like VRMs. But if you have PROCHOT EXT plus any...

    It is discrete. Its a laptop with 7945HX CPU and an RTX 4090 discrete GPU. The test was done on the discrete GPU I see! So this points to the throttling being from the CPU and not the VRMs is what I am taking away from this? So its not the VRMs you would say? That is good. I do have a dark...

    Need help understanding HWINFO thermal throttle meanings and where they come from

    I would have to check what parameters I have access too. I think most of it is pretty locked out. This is what I am trying to figure out. From my reading, if "Thermal Throttling (HTC)" it means the CPU is overheating, which makes sense with how hot the die gets, but the core temps seem to be...

    Thanks for the reply! Just a bit confused, thermal limit of what exactly? The die? Cause the die max temp was 97C And the only 101 I see is the "Thermal Limit 101.0%" is that the same as centigrade? I ask cause I found this: From another post. Does this mean the thermal limit is less than...

    So I did a cinebench R23 test, and I hit the same 101 thermal limit but was not flagged for throttling? I am very confused now

    Need help understanding HWINFO thermal throttle meanings and where they come from

    As you can see in my screenshot, my Thermal Throttling (HTC) and (PROCHOT EXT) both have a thermal throttle "Yes" applied. From my understanding, Thermal Throttling (HTC) is "HTC stands for Hardware Thermal Control. If it reports "Yes", it means the CPU is overheating." But I am confused...
