intel-undervolt VS msci-thesis

10th gen is locked by "Overclocking lock" And "Cfg lock" in bios, you can disable it thru ifr and use any software to undervolt your cpu (throttlestop on windows, linux has its own software (this, probably)). This is a lot safer than just putting voltages in bios as you can guess.

On Windows machines and laptops with Intel cpus, I almost always use Throttlestop to tweak power consumption and thus temperatures. I'd like to do so on this machine as well. I've found this: https://github.com/kitsunyan/intel-undervolt

intel-undervolt - though I may not be using this optimally. CPU: -75, GPU: -50, CPU-Cache: -75

You can use intel-undervolt to modify the voltage, TDP.

I will try your suggestion about limiting power package. I've been using this 3rd party intel-undervolt software, which I'm not sure if it supports granular changes to wattage, but it seems like there is some energy/performance settings there.

I personally use intel-undervolt and auto-cpufreq.

You can also undervolt though software on Linux based OS's. For intel there's these: https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt (this one looks more popular) https://github.com/kitsunyan/intel-undervolt (this is the one I use, no particular reason)

intel-undervolt also works fine for Intel laptops (I've used this successfully with my 11th gen H laptop).

That was partially my "fault", as some of the research which led to Plundervolt was the subject of my Master's thesis. Funnily enough, this means I know a bit about what you'd need on Linux. There's a tool called intel-undervolt which should allow you to configure profiles, though you might need a custom shell script or something to automatically toggle between profiles based on whether the device is plugged in or not. The Linux kernel itself has decent P-state management by default as it relies on the CPU to tell it what P-state to use, but this is based on not undervolting. You'll need to disable this default P-state management by specifying intel_pstate=disable to the kernel on boot; you can edit your bootloader (e.g. GRUB) config to do this for you.
