I have a HP OMEN 15-dc1052nr 
I currently have windows 11 insider build 

CPU - intel core i7-9750h

GPU - geforce rtx 2060

latest bios version f12.0

After trying out notebook fan controller yesterday I'm having a problem with the wattage of my cpu jumping up and down like very rapidly from 7-8 watt to 30 watt then again 7-8 watts while just browsing videos or sometimes even moving my cursor which in turn is making my temps jump from 50-60C to 80-90C to 50-60C very rapidly when I'm on power, on battery it jumps between 50-60C. Although if I leave it completely idle on battery the temps drop to 45-47C and then there is no fluctuation but on power it fluctuates. At first I thought that Notebook fan controller messed up my fans(because in this model you cant control your fan speed) as there is no official config available for my model in notebook fan controller configs, so I downloaded one from github, but then I reinstalled/reupdated my bios in order to reset the fans and make sure fans are working normally as they were before.I deleted throttlestop and the problem was still there. Today I noticed that I'm having very absurd power jumps which had never happened in the last 1 year.
I have now reinstalled throttlestop and the settings are same as before.
Throttlestop settings - 
I have just adjusted the core and cache offset voltage to -110.v and speed shift epp to 0 as it gave boost to my clock freq(3hz-3.6hz to 4hz-4.2hz constantly) previously without taking up any extra power , rest all settings are default. 

P.S. - this is my first post I read all the instructions , sorry for any mistakes

When your computer is completely idle at the desktop, what does ThrottleStop report for C0%? This is a very accurate way to measure background activity. A computer with 6 cores should need to average about 0.5% of its time in the C0 state when it is not doing anything. Close any web browsers when you are testing. Here is an example of a 10 core CPU that is running Windows 10.

Most threads of most cores are completely idle. If your CPU is way more active than that, open the Task Manager, go to the Details tab and find out what is running in the background on your computer. One or more apps or drivers might be stuck in an endless loop. This will load the CPU but the CPU will not be accomplishing anything. 

 

Also look at C state activity. Are cores spending 99% of their time in the low power C7 state or are your cores nowhere close to that?

Windows 11 is early beta software so some bugs are inevitable. Some software that has been thoroughly tested in Windows 10 might not work correctly in Windows 11. Your fan control software might have a problem like this.  

 

When using ThrottleStop, if you want maximum CPU speed regardless of load, try using the Windows High Performance power plan if it is available. Setting Speed Shift EPP to 0 while you are using the Windows Balanced power plan can cause Windows and ThrottleStop to fight over control of your CPU.
