I have never seen a BD PROCHOT issue caused by the power supply. On desktop computers, it is usually a motherboard issue where a sensor shorts out or something on the motherboard shorts out. This triggers an external throttling signal to be sent to the CPU using the BD PROCHOT...
Not that amazing. Intel's diagnostic software is too dumb to report BD PROCHOT throttling issues. A CPU stuck at 400 MHz is definitely not OK.
Have you run ThrottleStop yet? It takes 2 seconds to click on the Limits button to open up the Limit Reasons window to diagnose this problem. If BD...
Intel's power hungry 10850K can be a low power CPU if you know how to setup Windows and if you enable the low power C states. Use O&O ShutUp10 to turn off some of the Windows 10 bloatware. The C0% number in ThrottleStop can be extremely low when the bloatware is disabled.
I prefer a fast CPU...
Good news. ThrottleStop supports Intel's new low power 10th Gen U series. In the right chassis, these CPUs are absolute beasts after some tweaking. How about over 4 GHz on all cores when fully loaded? The Core i7-10510U may come from Intel with a 15 Watt TDP rating but don't be fooled. It...
To go beyond the 22 multiplier you need to have either the C3, C6 or C7 core C state enabled in the bios.
Try using ThrottleStop. It will report if your CPU is using any of the C states.

The latest version of ThrottleStop will show you SST in green on the main screen just like HWiNFO shows when Speed Shift is enabled. In ThrottleStop, this will be blank if SST is not enabled. Speed Shift can be enabled in any version...
When running dual monitors, the GPU is usually brought up to full speed. Try monitoring the GPU speed with GPU-Z. This creates a lot of unnecessary heat but there isn't much you can do about that. Cleaning your laptop thoroughly and replacing the thermal paste on the GPU will help. Many...
SSD benchmarks tend to show the greatest difference when various C States are enabled. I think this is because the benchmark does not load the CPU enough to force it to run at full speed. Real world applications should show less difference because they will be using the CPU more.
You can use...
Intel CPUs use high performance timers that run at billions of cycles per second so it is very easy to precisely determine exactly how much turbo boost the CPU is using at any moment in time.
Intel published a paper back in November 2008 when the first generation Core i CPUs were released...
A couple of interesting things I noticed is that Skylake CPUs support new C States like C8. It looks like Dell has disabled C8 in the bios. They also seem to be limiting your package C States to only C3. It's not good when Intel pours millions of dollars into R&D so their CPUs will consume...
The reported package and IA core power data that all software reports is not based on actual power consumption. This number is calculated within the CPU and its only purpose is for management of the Intel Turbo Boost feature. At idle, it is a meaningless number.
Have a look at the percentage...
Old school thinking was that you had to reduce the MHz to save power when idle but modern CPUs use various C States to reduce power consumption when idle. When a CPU core enters C7, it is disconnected from the voltage rail and its internal clock speed is zero. Using monitoring software that...
ThrottleStop 8.00 beta 5

ThrottleStop is still a work in progress but it should work OK with a Skylake laptop. Post some pics if you have any problems.
Make sure BD PROCHOT is not checked, check off Set Multiplier and set that to the maximum value and...
