Hello everyone,

I'm new here and encountering a problem with adjusting my CPU. My Acer Aspire 3 A315 laptop has an
Intel i5-1035G1 CPU, , and its FIVR control is locked by default. Following a tutorial on this YouTube link I was able to change the voltage.

I tried using the latest version of ThrottleStop, but it remains locked. I then switched to version 8.6 and was able to adjust the voltage. However, despite setting the voltage to -49.8 and applying it, the offset value doesn't change. I'm on Windows 10.

I'm seeking advice on how to resolve this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

finally this;
though I wouldn't go as far as modifying the BIOS to unlock a feature if your laptop is all you have to work with.

Older versions of ThrottleStop did not show when the CPU voltage control register was locked. Only use ThrottleStop 9.6. When using the newest version, if the top middle of the FIVR window shows Locked, that means CPU voltage control has been locked by the BIOS.

Using an ancient version of ThrottleStop is not a magic way to unlock CPU voltage control. Using ThrottleStop 8.6 will install the old WinRing0 driver onto your computer. This likely makes your computer more vulnerable to attacks though even the virus writers have probably moved on.
