Hi, everyone. Im here hoping someone can help me to fix a terrible mistake Dell made with this gaming laptop. The most experienced users have noticed this laptop has its thermal throttle point at really low values. Its equipped with gtx 1050 ti gpu and intel i7 7700hq processor. The thing is the prochot, thermal throttle point or whatever you guys would like to call it is very low for a laptop that carries gaming on its name. Intel standard is 100°c, but Dell set the thermal limit to 85°c and pretty much every demanding game like battlefield 1 multiplayer makes the prccessor hit this temperature after playing longer than 10 minutes , making the cpu throttles to 1.6 - 1.7ghz which is fairly below its base clocks (2.8 ghz). The gpu also starts to throttle very quickly (73°c). So its a completely mess when both are being used. I have an asus laptop with maxwell gpu from nvidia and broadwell cpu and i could easily have access to the cpu configuration on the bios, i modified the vbios quiet easy as well. But this dell laptop has its bios on .exe format. I tried everything i could to extract the .rom so i could mod the bios and change the tcc activation offset values to intel standards to fix this temp limit issue but i have no success so far. I tried cmd command, phoenix tools, universal extractor, none of them worked. I dont want a whole unlocked bios, just want to fix these thermal limit points, but the only way we can do this its changing the values on the bios and flashing it back. This definitely would help a lot of people that own this laptop and is aware of this problem. At least let us know If this is possible or not, If its somehow protected and could be only done with programmer. If so, i will return this laptop and get my money back. Its unacceptable a gaming laptop cant actually gaming. I know hitting 100°c is too much, but i doubt it would reach that, we cant be sure since the system will never go further than that once it starts to throttles after pass 85°c.
Just a note: my old laptop from Asus hits 86°c on very demanding games when cpu usage is 100% for years (very common event, even for 4c4t and 4c8t desktops processors as the games are becoming more cpu core demanding these days) and never had a problem. It doesnt stay there for a long period, is more like 78-86°c range depending on stress areas of the games. But the dell 7567 cant work like that since the cpu have no chance to properly work due to very restrict limit (85°) and it wont reduce 0.1ghz until temperatures are stable, but drastically drops from 3.4 (the turbo boost) to half speed (1.6-1.7 ghz). And it stays like that until you close the game and open it again (but in a short matter of time it happens again, of course). The drastic drops on the speeds may be a power throttle too since this model has only a 130w psu, but i want to get rig of the thermal limit first or it will make no difference buying a larger one.
Thank you all for the attention. Really hope someone here can give me a light with extracting the dell bios.
Here's the latest bios version: https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER0461430..._1.2.0.exe
Here's a 7567 owner playing games and he didnt even notice the same is happening to him(jump to 1:30 and keep looking at the cpu speed and temperature line): https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLl7SUr...hi_X9tG5FI
Again on a different game (jump to 1:55) https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLl7SUr...ode=NORMAL
