  1. My notebook is a Lenovo Z710, but the following might be valid for any with Intel+Nvidia hardware running Windows 10. Testers are welcome! During normal office work or browsing, the Nvidia hardware should not be active at all, to save energy. Now I noticed, that after waking the Notebook from standby (S3) mode, it has a higher energy consumption. If I then close the lid and re-open it, it drops by ~10 watts. And stays there. I configured Windows to not do anything when closing the lid (normal behavior would be standby mode). The notebook runs 10 degrees Celsius cooler afterwards! Starting hardware detection in the device manager has the same effect. Disabling and then enabling the Nvidia hardware has the same effect. Re-starting the "NVIDIA Display Container LS" service has the same effect, too. So I suspect it really is the Nvidia card which causes this. The CPU does not clock lower nor does the CPU load drop. So what else could it be? The question is, what can I do so my notebook wakes up properly with a low energy consumption in the first place (without me closing/re-opening the lid)? I already tried several Nvidia drivers.
  2. @ststeve If you find a way to change the throttle limit, tell us. I tried many settings, but my Z710 keeps throttling at 85 degrees.
  3. There is nothing named "TCC". What I tried is in the picture. But these settings seem to have no effect at all. Still 85 degree limit. The BD PROCHOT setting on the CPU thermal page has no effect either.
  4. Is there somewhere an option in the BIOS to change that 85 degree throttle limit of the CPU in the z710? Lenovo set it to the lowest possible value when Intel actually allows up to 100 degrees.
  5. Hi and thank you for all the effort you are putting into helping people with what Lenovo should have done in the first place. I, too, would like to have as many as possible BIOS options unlocked and the white list removed. It is a z710, BIOS version 7fcn96ww. Thank you! https://www.sendspace.com/file/xs9733
