Are you saying that's only a limit warning, and not how much current is allowed to flow to the cpu?Īctually, I was totally on a different page on that. On the intel forums, when i experienced current limit throttling for my i7-4790, they (intel) recommended i set my processor current limit up above 256A, and that cleared my issue. Car still runs fine, probably better, but your computer is going to believe there is a problem which, aside from emissions reasons, there isn't. Like pulling the bulb for the check engine light on your car after you've ditched the catalytic converter. Therefore, it's GOING to tell you that every time you run full stress.Ĭhanging the current limit warning threshold isn't going to change anything except turning the light off so to speak. Of course, their current limit is based on a stock configuration and the default current limit settings in XTU don't change simply because you are running a CPU that is clocked higher.

Changing the current limit doesn't change the fact that XTU is telling you you are exceeding Intel's recommended current limit.
