You see it after S3 wakeup in ThrottleStop of SOC power. Under perfect idle condition with no programs open no systray and so on, it should be as low as 0.5-0.8w. With the bug it idles at around 2-3w. Touching the touchpad with your finger to move the mouse with it fixes it and it instantly goes down again to 0.8w. I never noticed this before because I also use the laptop stationary and never used the touchpad. If you use it like this, you can disable the above shown I2C in device manager and this also fixes the issue. The touchpad still works btw it is not that quick though anymore, I think the bug has something to do with too high poll rate which is stuck after S3 sleep.

I have undervolted my 9570 like this in ThrottleStop, helps a lot with thermals, and also throttle boost wattage like this which still is enough for the device but keeps temps cool, even that much that my fans never are on and always off. Cache needs to be 1/2 of core voltage.
Where exactly in ThrottleStop do I find the SOC power? This is what mines says and I did not put the computer to sleep.

I wish I could undervolt but due to Windows 11 and needing virtualization enabled, undervolting won't work even with PowerMonkey which does not work with virtualization fully enabled.

@Almighty1 I am honestly shocked seeing that screenshot! Your CPU is throttling due to thermal limit (PROCHOT) at 100°C WTF!? Also what you said that undervolting is not working due to Windows 11 and virtualization enabled is total nonsense, where did you get that information from? Dell disabled undervolting with a bios update, that is why I am still on bios 1.20 that was the lastt bios with undervolting working. There was a trick though to reenable undervolting by going into bios and load one of the two bios or custom defaults not sure anymore which it was you need to try. PKG power = SOC power. Your CPU is burning at 45W at just 35% load at 100°C also with speedshift off, that is terrible. No other words. Also my god! CPU voltage of 1.25V! These are my settings for normal usage where I want to run it fan less limiting at 22w with undervolt. Windows 11, virtualization on, bios 1.20. Also two cores at 100° and the other at 90°c shows your heat-spreader is not properly connected anymore to the CPU.

ThrottleStop does not have access to the CPU voltage control register if running in a VM or if Virtualization Based Security (VBS) is enabled. Few Questions regarding undervolting on Windows 11.

Besides deciding to turn off virtualization, a possible workaround is this: Undervolting on Windows 11 with PowerMonkey | Mr Eggtart.
But for that to work, you'd have to be willing to sacrifice Secure Boot, although the author did write something about smart people and stuff, so... if you feel addressed there, then no problemo. lol

ThrottleStop does not have access to the CPU voltage control register if running in a VM
Not sure what youre even talking about. Running TS inside a VM!? Who would run TS inside a VM!? What has security feature of Windows 11 VBS to do with using a VM or have virtualization activated as a function of the CPU, nothing. I am running TS with undervolt on Windows 11 with secure boot on, virtualization on, VBS off.

Also what you said that undervolting is not working due to Windows 11 and virtualization enabled is total nonsense, where did you get that information from?

Probably from using ThrottleStop 9.5 - where indeed undevolting didn't work with Virtualization Enabled - and the its developer recommended disabling it to fix the issue (which it did - since it worked with it disabled). Guess something changed with version 9.6 - even tho it's not available in release notes (tho, the developer - did removed the suggestion to disable Virtualization from his Signature - so there's that).
I am honestly shocked seeing that screenshot! Your CPU is throttling due to thermal limit (PROCHOT) at 100°C WTF!?

Quite common on quite a lot of laptops: cooling can be an issue for that - but they're also in need on yearly maintenance and recommended to be used in a clean environment (with as little dust as possible). I suspect that to be among his main issues (that laptop might need some cleaning of its fans + repasting). Undervolting can help, but it's not always enough. In some cases - might be necessary to lower the max turbo boost frequency - to able to achieve reasonable temps. Belive it or not - many laptops with powerful CPUs are ignored by their owners - while reaching close to 100*C and throttling (they even got used to the fan noise). 99/100 the CPU can take it - even within design if you will. It's usually the components surrounding the CPU - that get affected by constant high temperatures.

Nonsense. It has nothing to do with Virtualization=on but with a flag in bios set to disable undervolt both coexists next to each other, most OEMs like Dell set it with a bios update to prevent undervolt because of the Intel security exploit which was published between 2019-2020 or something related to undervolting, there was a trick to re enable it like I said above or use older bios version, or use a uefi boot tool to set the flag manually back.


The flag to disable undervolt was implemented by Dell on the XPS 9560 for example at this time, and also around some months later/before not sure anymore on the 9570. There was a trick to load bios defaults to revert back the flag to enable undervolting again even after bios update.

In 9.5 it did. In 9.6 it's not affected by virtualization per se - but obviously won't run with Core integrity Enabled. Ask its Developer - he already mentioned that time after time.

Dell Disabling Undevorlt (with a BIOS updated) - cause of the Plundervolt security issue - is another impediment - but that's specific mainly to Dell (so Dell owners need to flex extra - be it by patching the BIOS or reverting to an older version).

Yes, and were speaking about a XPS 9570 here where I told the previous poster he can totally use undervolt on his 9570 with Windows 11 and virtualization on, anything else is irrelevant. also TS 9.6 is out since a year.

I was merely pointing out what unclewebb (the author of ThrottleStop) wrote about that subject.
be it by patching the BIOS or reverting to an older version).
There's other methods available besides patching/reverting the BIOS.

@Almighty1 I am honestly shocked seeing that screenshot! Your CPU is throttling due to thermal limit (PROCHOT) at 100°C WTF!? Also what you said that undervolting is not working due to Windows 11 and virtualization enabled is total nonsense, where did you get that information from? Dell disabled undervolting with a bios update, that is why I am still on bios 1.20 that was the lastt bios with undervolting working. There was a trick though to reenable undervolting by going into bios and load one of the two bios or custom defaults not sure anymore which it was you need to try. PKG power = SOC power. Your CPU is burning at 45W at just 35% load at 100°C also with speedshift off, that is terrible. No other words. Also my god! CPU voltage of 1.25V! These are my settings for normal usage where I want to run it fan less limiting at 22w with undervolt. Windows 11, virtualization on, bios 1.20. Also two cores at 100° and the other at 90°c shows your heat-spreader is not properly connected anymore to the CPU.
It depends on the uptime as it will run perfectly fine for a few days after rebooting. As for undervolting not workng in Windows 11, it's because access to the MSR is not possible which both Throttlestop and Intel XTU needs to undervolt. This has nothing to do with the BIOS undervolting as it's the factory defaults one has to load after the BIOS which I have always done which is supposed to allow undervolting even with BIOses after 1.20. When we talk about virtualization, we are talking about running Windows Subsystem for Linux enabled that will prevent undervolting because MS blocks access to the MSR 0x150 which is actually VBS and not just virtualization alone. My machine is on top of a cardboard box with a 125 lb audio amplifier inside which probably causes even more heat so it gets fairly hot depending on the room temperature as there is also no AC here. I am also using the Ultimate Performance power plan because the stock power plans will keep putting the machine to sleep which is preventing my notifications from working when I am away from the keyboard. Also, I have the processor running at full speeds 100% of the time since usually when my temps are high, it means Windows has already ran out of resources or handles after a few days or weeks of uptime, I have not been feeling well so I haven't been rebooting or even updating since December 2023 unless I got picky and did it manually, the only thing I update are video drivers and whatever Dell puts out for updates as well as System Informer, formerly Process Hacker and HWiNFO64. That's why other than this thread, I haven't kept up with the forums either. I mean I am usually the one who posts about new drivers in this thread and the only reason I am even active in the thread was because you said the new Intel Graphics drivers don't work on the 9570 which works fine for me and the same goes for all the last 4 or so versions after Intel basically sunsetted the 5th-10th generation GPUs.

ThrottleStop does not have access to the CPU voltage control register if running in a VM or if Virtualization Based Security (VBS) is enabled. Few Questions regarding undervolting on Windows 11.

Besides deciding to turn off virtualization, a possible workaround is this: Undervolting on Windows 11 with PowerMonkey | Mr Eggtart.
But for that to work, you'd have to be willing to sacrifice Secure Boot, although the author did write something about smart people and stuff, so... if you feel addressed there, then no problemo. lol
Already tried PowerMonkey and had it working with undervolting but I forgot what part of Windows security or virtualization it broke so I reverted to using the system without undervolting. Forgot the exact details without booting via PowerMonkey as it was probably a year ago I tried it. It might have been Core Isolation that didn't work.

In my case, I cleaned and repasted which works for a short period of time before the TIM pushes out so I tried the Honeywell PTM7950 which is a thermal pad used by Lenovo that many have given better reviews that the standard paste, My temps don't go up until a few days of uptime which a reboot will fix as usually I am on the 80s or lower.

Like I said before on the XPS 9570 you can just enable undervolt again by loading bios defaults, Dell forgot to put the undervolt off flag in the default bios settings.
Yes, that part is correct, whenever a new bios is installed including 1.27, load factory defaults and the undervolting is available. What I am talking about is the virtualization that is needed for Windows Subsystem for Linux to work which is ofcourse not just virtualization and it is VBS I am thinking about which breaks Throttlestop and Intel XTU from being about to read the MSR registers (MSR 0x150 to be specific) required for undervolting as I am using Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows Subsystem for Android and Hyper-V which runs Windows 11 Dev Insiders.

Has anyone updated to 5382 and observed audio problems in programs like Kodi? I upgraded from 5333 on my N100 mini PC, and 5382 really screwed the audio up bad, causing delays of a couple of seconds before audio would begin on most titles, while some titles went completely silent. I uninstalled the audio driver, and the prior version Windows reverted to (a Feb-dated Intel driver, presumably the one from 5333) restored the perfect operation I'd been enjoying to that point. I ended up restoring a system image to get 5333 all the way back.

Also, 5382 installed the useless (to me) Arc Control software for the first time. Maybe I missed unchecking it in setup, but it was definitely new. Uninstalling it didn't help the audio problem.
