Warning: Backup & create a Windows restore point before you start. These steps change power limits & driver behavior — proceed at your own risk. What I used: ThrottleStop 9.7 GPU-Z (sensors & logging) Unigine Superposition (1080p High) & 3DMark Time Spy (Steam) Medion Control Center (Divertissement / Performance mode) Llano external cooler (1500–1800 RPM) Steps (summary): Backup: create restore point & backup driver store. Block Windows driver updates (PowerShell as admin): New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" -Force | Out-Null New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" -Name "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate" -PropertyType DWord -Value 1 -Force | Out-Null NVIDIA Control Panel: Power Management = Prefer maximum performance; Low Latency = Ultra; Threaded Optimization = On. ThrottleStop: Profile: High Performance SpeedShift EPP = 128 (SST) TPL: PL1 = 60 W, PL2 = 80 W, TurboTime very large (we used 3670016) Save & set autostart via Task Scheduler (run as admin). Cooling: external Llano fan at 1500–1800 RPM; Medion Control Center in Divertissement. Monitoring: GPU-Z sensors logging (reset Min/Max before run). Benchmark: Run Unigine 1080p High / 3DMark Time Spy, observe GPU Power draw, GPU Clock, temps. Results I got: Time Spy total = 9670 (Graphics 10509 / CPU 6659), GPU max ~66°C, GPU Power ≈ 133 W, Unigine ~14k score, GPU clock ~2520 MHz. Notes & tips: If 3DMark online publish is grayed out, run Steam & 3DMark as admin and ensure the same UL/Steam account is connected; alternatively export the .3dmark-result file and upload manually. Always monitor temps > 10–15 minutes in sustained runs. If PROCHOT triggers, revert BD PROCHOT / safety settings.
