My idle temps are now 40-44.OnePlus has found itself in a pickle of its own making. I was able to achieve constant 60 fps, whilst before following those steps, I would always get 50 fps on average. They went from 91-92 for both CPU and GPU all the way down to 83 for CPU and 77 for GPU. My temps dropped drastically (without underclocking my GPU) when playing Horizon Zero Dawn (other games too but I only recorded my temps for this game). The Dell G7 is a gaming laptop with pretty good specs, so it does not need this type of applications. I tried a couple of those (including Razer Cortex) but did not notice any changes. NB: Game optimizing applications or anything similar won't make a difference. GPU power limit throttling should stop, however, you might notice some drop in the framerate. I'll add a screenshot of what it looks like (it's an old underclock so don't mind the 1270 MHz value). In the curve editor window try putting all the dots at 1500 MHz (and keep going down) and start testing until you no longer get GPU power throttling. UNDERCLOCK your GPU (DO NOT OVERCLOCK or anything else, just underclock). Use this as a last resort in case all of the above steps fail (but they won't). If you can't afford one or don't want to, you can try putting a small book just under the edge of your laptop between the fans. You can do steps 5 & 6 on your own if you know what you're doing, or you take your laptop to a specialist. This will give your laptop a power boost as well as increase fan speed. And while gaming or using heavy software, make sure to set the Thermal Settings in Dell Power Manager to Ultra Performance. Make sure you drivers and Dell apps are up-to-date. However, you will avoid throttling and you will get consistent performance. Note that underclocking will decrease performance a bit and disabling Turbo will decrease it a lot. Moreover, you can try disabling Turbo Boost.

I could not avoid the Power limit with any value above 3.1 GHz. Underclock your CPU: 4.1 GHz when 1 core is active, all the way down to 3.1 GHz when all 6 cores are active. Note that those numbers will differ from one CPU to another, I tested my CPU for more than a year and changed the values with each BIOS update (to avoid BSOD). My voltages are -250mV for CPU Core and -128.9 for CPU Cache. I would recommend that follow a guide for undervolting the Intel core i7-8750H. In the case you were unable to undervolt, you can boot into BIOS settings and restore 'Factory Settings' and try again. This way you can reduce the CPU voltage, thus reducing overall power consumption. Try undervolting (I personally recommend ThrottleStop). After disabling them, my CPU Utilization when idle went down from 42-45% to 2-3%. After a lot of testing, I found that those 3 services were utilizing around 40% of my CPU when idle. You can start by disabling the following services which might be exhausting your CPU in the Services tab in System Configuration: Dell Data Vault Collector, Energy Server Service queencreek and Intel (R) System Usage Report Service SystemUsageReportSvc_QUEENCREEK. I used the following steps to solve this problem: My temps would reach 95+ for CPU and 92 for GPU when playing ANY game, and my idle temps were 47-52. I used to mainly face CPU thermal and power throttling (GPU caused power throttling too). Specs: Intel core i7-8750H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11. Hello G7 7588 owners, I am writing this post to share about my experience with my laptop and how I was able to solve my throttling problems.
