STRESS TEST GRAPHS:
as you can see when the temp hits 80ish it will clock down to 50 I have a fresh install of windows without any Intel or HP bloatware meaning that all the thermal framework and coolsense are gone which would normally cause throttling for these noebooks throttle power plan high performance everything turned all the way up nvidia graphics settings set to favor my 940m with everything I can
background to the issue and why I believe it's something that can be fixed I was playing overwatch the other day just fine temps were reading 82 in overwatch hardware monitor no problems at all then I got home later that night and I could play fine with it unplugged but when I plugged it in it would thermal throttle down to 20% so last night at 3am I decided to get a fresh windows ISO to retry on now I'm getting this issue. Last night it wOULD indicate if it was throttling and goes down to 20% now it doesn't indicate it's throttling but it will clock down to 50% I was able to play overwatch and subnautica just fine without any lag before the charging issue where when I plugged it in it throttled. I am fine with my notebook getting hot and I just want it for overwatch when I travel I don't care about lifespan or anything I just want this laptop to perform how it did and I can't find what I did wrong to cause it to start doing this
TL;DR: Core i7-5500U thermal throttling but not reporting it to the system can't figure out how to disable it. I just want to game on this and it's capable of doing it but not when throttling power plan maxed out and nvidia settings set up to favor 940m. I don't think it's hardware locked because I was able to play overwatch over 82c 2 days ago
