Option to turn off TCC control. I use ThrottleStop for this.

Well... First of all, TCC can not be disabled - it's an internal feature of the CPU. It can be reset to default value for CPU (Usually 100C for Intel, 105C for AMD). Second point - me and TS set it using different ways - they access CPU registers directly, i'm using Dell ACPI BIOS functions for this. Third point.... At my gear (m16 as well), TS provide significant performance drop, so i stop using it. JFYI.

So, keep this points in mind, what do you want to have as a result?

By "Off" I mean "Fan Control" stop control TCC and let, for example, ThrottleStop control it.

But I will follow your advise and will disable on ThrottleStop and will test on Fan Control.
