30% CPU Usage after Hibernation Fixed!
« on: March 10, 2017, 01:47:15 pm »
Hi All,

I've been researching the 30% CPU usage after hibernation, and I seem to have found the culprit. You can follow my progress here:

Disabling DPTF in the bios fixes the hibernation issue. Your GPU and CPU will still throttle, so that's not an issue. Makes me wonder what DPTF is even for.

To disable DPTF, you need the 10/25 bios. Go to the Advanced page > Thermal > Thermal Configuration. Set DPTF to Disabled.

I'm researching more to see if it's a specific DPTF option, but I'm not hopeful.
It's not a specific option, it needs to be completely disabled.

* Just a disclaimer, this may cause thermal throttling to be disabled on the Win. Make sure you always game with the fan on. I'm finding my Win levels off around 76C with the fan on low.
