Thanks for the wall of info harry5522. I think the biggest problem is that the majority of gaming oriented laptops available today are not intended to be used for gaming while running on battery power. They tend to throttle severely and become unusable. A battery that is small enough to fit...

Getting rid of ThrottleStop and going with Intel XTU was a bad idea. There is a setting in ThrottleStop called BD PROCHOT. Make sure that option is not checked. BD PROCHOT stands for bi-directional processor hot. This allows other sensors on the motherboard to send a throttling signal...

If an Intel CPU downclocks when fully loaded, it is usually because the turbo power limits are set too low in the bios. These Intel CPUs use turbo boost to reach the maximum multiplier. Increase your turbo power limits and this will prevent the CPU from downclocking.

For non K CPUs, the maximum multiplier usually depends on how many cores are active. For a 4770T, when 1, 2, 3 or 4 cores are active, the maximum multiplier is probably going to be 37, 35, 33, 31. After you boot up, delete the ThrottleStop.INI file, run ThrottleStop and then have a look in...

A T series CPU is different than the K series. Usually you need to have at least the C3 C State enabled in order to maximize the multiplier. You also need Turbo Boost and SpeedStep enabled in the bios. The 37 multiplier might only be available when a single core is active. That depends on...

This is a known issue when trying to overclock the G3258 on a Gigabyte Z87X board when using the F9 bios. http://www.overclock.net/t/1401976/the-gigabyte-z87-haswell-overclocking-oc-guide/2930#post_22550998 The F9 bios is not setting the Turbo Ratio register up correctly so the maximum...

I know the Intel docs show that the G3258 does not support Turbo Boost but within the CPU, the TURBO_RATIO_LIMITS register is being used to control the maximum speed of this CPU. This register is used in every Intel Core i CPU produced during the last 7 years. Mobile or desktop CPUs, locked or...

I just read your posts again and was wondering if you ever got around to setting both of these to 40? These are the two values that the bios writes to register MSR 0x1AD. These CPUs need to have Turbo Boost enabled within the processor. Some Gigabyte boards and bios versions are a...

Just as I expected. Do a search in the file you posted and you will find this line. MSR 0x000001AD 0x00000000 0x20202020 The official Intel name for this register is the MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT register. If you have selected 40 and 40 in the bios for your turbo ratio limits, that means your...

There are a couple of registers in the CPU that determine how fast the CPU can run. Based on your testing so far, it seems like the bios is not setting the turbo ratios correctly. The bios might see that you have a Dual Core Pentium and automatically assume that it is not overclockable. If...

At least you know the 40 multiplier does work. If your computer froze up when overclocking, it is often times because of lack of voltage. You should be able to adjust this in the bios or you can use ThrottleStop to do this too. I prefer to use a fixed voltage until I understand how much...

Intel CPUs use Turbo Boost to go beyond the default multiplier. You need to set these both to 40. After you do that, if you are still having problems, give ThrottleStop a try. Click on the FIVR button, check the Overclock option and make sure your turbo ratios are both set to 40. After that...

What version of RealTemp are you using? I am using Windows 10 on my laptop and RealTemp is running great.

ThrottleStop 8.00 beta 2 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0dpSo9k93jDTE1fcHNtbUMwdGc When a bios does not support your CPU or is not cooperating, ThrottleStop is a good option to set the CPU registers up appropriately. This will let you run your CPU at its Intel rated speed. The latest...

Intel has never used temperature sensors that are 100% accurate at idle and full load. These sensors are only intended to be used to control thermal throttling and thermal shutdown. They were never intended to be used for accurate temperature monitoring for enthusiasts. There were so many...

If you are using a motherboard with limited overclocking or voltage adjustment features can you give ThrottleStop a try? ThrottleStop 7.00 https://www.sendspace.com/file/xrar30 http://i.imgur.com/IyKzVNt.png It writes multiplier and voltage information directly to the CPU so it might be able...

RealTemp 3.70 reads the 4th Gen Haswell CPU temperatures correctly. It looks like SpeedFan is using the wrong value for TJ Max. It is using 85C when it should be using 100C. That's why SpeedFan is reporting your core temperatures 15C too low. You can usually adjust this somewhere within the...

Let me re-phrase that. This was a common problem on the Z77 series of Asus motherboards. Do a Google search for multiplier stuck asus z77 and you will see that you are not alone. Make sure you are running the latest bios because this problem on your board has likely already been fixed by...

This is a common problem on many Asus motherboards. Make sure you are using the latest bios and load the default settings after you have flashed it before overclocking.

Intel core temperature sensors are not calibrated or intended to be used for accurate idle temperatures. These sensors are only calibrated to control thermal throttling and thermal shut down which is typically at 100C to 125C. Reporting too low when the CPU is idle is normal. There is so much...
