Plz help edp throttling

[Knin3]

Hi guys,

I was looking thru the intel extreme utility, and ive got a bright red bar at the bottom saying current/edp limit throttling. Now when I look closer I notice 3 lightning bolts next to core voltage, cpu voltage offset and avx2 voltage guardband. Hovering over the lightning bolts tells me I have a undervolt limit protection enabled, now im unsure what that is or how to disable it. Im hoping some kind soul will be able to help me out. My system is as follows.....
Thankyou!!!

I think it was introduced because there was a (security) exploit awhile back. I'm assuming that's what the message refers to.

This is probably normal, but it depends how you have the CPU set up. If you're using a new BIOS with an Intel default profile, it will throttle under heavy loads, which is intended.

It looks like it, yes.

If you run hwinfo's sensor tab while running a CPU-intensive task like Cinebench or Prime 95, it should show you exactly how the CPU is behaving and what point it throttles (and for how long).

The power/current limits on the Intel defaults are low (e.g. PL1/PL2/TAU) and that's intended as part of the package of avoiding/mitigating degradation.
