Hi! Please tell us the temperatures your system averages, I suppose you're reading CLT from XTU right? I recommend you to use Throttlestop, for the current limits indeed you can disable them, few posts above I was writing a 2019 version on how to do so but I haven't had time to finish writing it, I can make an effort to finish it later today.

 

Edit: I see you have an E6540 I'm not sure if the variables are the same, however I encourage to do it and try to get your limits higher in Throttlestop under the TPL tab, if they don't work you can simply turn off the laptop, remove battery, hold power for not sure if 10 secs or a min, open it and remove CMOS battery for 1 min, your BIOS will be back to default, I'll check what boot configuration you have as mine wasn't as stock config, therefore I couldn't boot to Windows until I modified it to what it was.

(I stopped using XTU for it's buggyness, TS is also buggy but by far better, just restart the program if it's not working and done)

 

Cheers!

Thanks for answer, i tought the post was dead.

Temps are around 50-60°C in normal use and 75 in stress test, before repaste it reached 93 degrees.

Yes the CLT is in XTU, actually there is no option to modify current limit, just says "yes" or "no". In TS (here is where i saw the 84A) appears the option but i cant change it, its locked.

I have restarted bios before, the default settings on performance are everything enable, HT, all cores, speed step, turbo boost and c state.

The lap came with BIOS A19 i updated it to A26.

Great topic that's as I'm finding the 4810MQ hits "Current Limit Throttling" very quickly (even when idling) and as a result the Package TDP never goes up above 23W with a max core frequency of 2.4Ghz and a package temperature of 70°C, which is very odd. Does anyone know of a way to remove that limitation ? Thanks !

Hi, i have a similar problem, hope someone can help me, i just bought an e6540 a few weeks ago, with i7 4810mq and dGPU the guy who sold me the laptop gave me a 90w adapter and battery of 11.1v 4.4A which isnt the appropiate, I thought that was the reason of current limit throttling. Now i have a 180w adapter but the issue persists, can it be phisycal damage to any component of the mobo? (like a capacitor or something)

The cpu basically can't go over base clock (2.8) with or without turbo boost activated.

Is there any way to change that current limit? (its locked to 84A) or i need a moded BIOS?

If its a phisycal problem, which component do i need to replace?

Thanks for your time
