PLEASE ALLOW MORE SETTINGS FOR THE THROTTLING ISSUE
Hi guys. Like most of you with an XPS I have stupid throttling issues when trying to anything hardware intensive.
My solution was to disable "certain" devices in the Device Manager to only allow hardware throttling, and it works with no issue.
I do this waiting patiently for the day that this issue is resolved.
Whenever the "self-check" software notices it re-enables them. Frankly, I'm tired of having to disable devices in order to have reasonable performance.
This is unacceptable.
I should be able to have EXPLICIT control over the behavior of my computer. PLEASE let me choose a "safe" higher temperature than that which the software begins to throttle! PLEASE.

Patch the VRMs with thermal pads, change the CPU and GPU thermal grease and you won't have any throttle issue anymore.

Here's the thing though, This throttling continued until (and often triggers at only) 50c.
When I disable certain software, the temp never exceeds ~77c and doesn't trigger the hardware to throttle. (~87-90c I believe?)
Granted, this is "uncomfortable" for legs; however, I would much rather be able to explicitly disable any non-essential throttling through supported means, much like the "Performance" settings should allow.
If I wanted my laptop to run cooler at the expense of speed, I would choose that power setting myself. Currently this behavior is forced on me, and the seeming multitude of others who feel my plight.

Dell has responsibility for the warranty on the system - meaning they don't want it running hotter. For every degree temperature increase, the lifespan of the components in the system decreases.
