You can contact Dell but the people working for them on the front lines are not likely to fully understand this problem let alone admit to it and do anything about it. You can see the non stop PL power limit throttling messages in the log file and the reduced performance even when the CPU is nowhere near the 100☌ Intel thermal throttling As soon as I read your title, my first thought was Dell. A ThrottleStop log file makes this problem crystal clear. Do what you can to get this problem escalated to someone that fully understands it.


There is no way to solve the new and improved method. Their 7th Gen laptops used multiple throttling methods that ThrottleStop could solve. Dell laptops with 8th Gen Intel CPUs are the first ones to experiment with this new type of forced power limit throttling. Nice idea in theory but in practice, the excessive amount of throttling this causes is ridiculous. When one of these hidden and undocumented sensors detects a high temperature, it limits the available CPU power which forces the CPU to slow down. There are other sensors like one that measures the temperature of the back side of your keyboard. If this never used to happen when your laptop was brand new then it is likely that a temperature sensor somewhere has failed. Technically that is true but something is very wrong when you pay for a CPU capable of running at 4000 MHz and Dell decides that it is OK to lock it to 800 MHz instead. The last person that complained to Dell was told that this throttling was by design. Whichever power limit is set lowest is the one used to control your CPU. The power limit settings in the ThrottleStop TPL window are over ridden by the power limit programmed by the EC. The turbo power limit that is being set so low is managed internally by an embedded controller (EC) as far as I know. Some CPUs have a minimum multiplier of 4 so those laptops get locked to 400 MHz instead of 800 MHz. For no logical reason, severe power limit throttling can be triggered which forces the CPU down to the minimum multiplier which is 8 for an 8750H. The problem you are having is a very common problem in many different Dell laptops. Sorry for the rant but that’s just how I feel.As soon as I read your title, my first thought was Dell. And for f’s sake - the installers are not readily available for download… I think I have 5.0.40 on some backup drive.
75 PERCENT CPU THROTTLED PRO 2 UPDATE
This is very frustrating and reading comments about C12 latest update it doesn’t seem much better… Let’s go Steinberg- pick up the game a notch! I bet if I still had VST2 version of GAse and I’d run them inside JBridge or Vienna Ensemble Pro locally (vst2/vst3) there would zero problems.

This is clearly somekind of coding bug/core allocation/ram leak/what ever… It’s very clear as having an extra layer as DDMF Metaplugin what’s inside the GAse I tried to run (+70) and NO problem. It performs very well over 90 Retrologues in 3XS stress sample buffer and 28500+ in Cinebench r23. I have been using Cubase and Nuendo almost 30 years professionally. I have never ever experienced this before. For some very strange reason Cubase-GAse combo starts throttling down the CPU. I have CPU temp in my taskbar most of the time / sometime… The CPU temp is around 38 at this point - There’s 6-9% load in Task Manager with 16 GAse instances. This sucks… I have sooo many GA_SE banks… it’s a PITA to start convert/building those on Battery4. They run much better without the extra MetaSynth layer… except they don’t in my case. No Throttling down whether I duplicated 16 or 24 or 72 instances of GrooveAgentSE’s… And it is not CPU/ASIO economicly wise to run these instruments in MetaSynth. I just tried with 70+ DDMF MetaSynth (vsti holder) loaded with Groove Agent SE same version. The problem is not computer not having enough power, But once I go over 16x instances of Groove Agent SE Cubase11/or Groove Agent SE 5 somehow starts throttling heavily my computer down from 3.6 GHz down ALL the way down to 1.5-2ghz… This Should NOT be happening. I have a template I’ve been using for +24 months which has maybe 30 Groove Agent SE’s, maybe 10-20 Battery4, Spectrasonics Trilian large bass guitar patch, Keyscape large piano patch, several Kontakt 6’s for GT (demo) tracks, maybe 20-30 Sylenth, Massive, Dune and Serum… It’s a a big template - AND there’s some processing on channels and groups. No this is not a computer/daw/temperature problem.
