Power Manager (v 2.2.0) - Thermal Management bug

System : XPS13 MLK (9360)

OS  : Windows 10 Pro

Intel Core i7-7560U @ 2.40GHz

 

------------------------------------------------

 

Hi,

(this thread follows this one)

I installed "Dell Command | Power Manager" (v 2.2.0).

In "Thermal Management" when switching between the 4 presets (Optimized, Cool, Quiet and Ultra Performance) it seems that only the first change is working.

For example : 

If I boot with Ultra Performance and decide after to go to Quiet to get rid of fan noise, it works, almost instantly. I monitor what happens with my ears  and with HWiNFO64 and BurnIn Test :

In Ultra Performance all Core Clock are not maxed, reached 3792 MHz (that's the Turbo Speed for Intel Core i7-7560U @ 2.40GHz) and Fan at 6100 RPM

In Quiet each Core Clock seems maxed at ~1696 MHz (although in some of my tests I have seen it at ~2395Mhz, perhaps it's Optimized preset and not Quiet) and CPU Fan at 0 RPM

After that If I choose Ultra Performance mode nothings happens. CPU sticks to the maxed Core Clock until I reboot.

Very annoying to have to reboot to switch back to another thermal mode.
