I actually tested it with no pads and it still hit the 25W limit.
From checking the HWinfo logs there is a 25 W limit on PL1. Unsurprisingly I was wrong and you were right. I have more padding arriving today so will pad the rest of the VRM components and see if I can get that ~25W limit any higher. I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that metals are more conductive at lower temps. That makes me think it's more a case of the cooler the components the higher the power delivery. I don't think it's a case of deciding to give 16 or 25, if it was locked to those numbers exactly I would think that, but like I say it floats around them.
I say around 25W because it's not as if that is some hard stop, it fluctuates above and below that. Are there any good graphing tools out there you'd recommend? Would be cool to graph the power limits with/without the thermal pads. Gotta be honest I wasn't watching it like a hawk the entire time but yeah pretty sure the whole run was around 25W. If Intel was smart, they would set up a website where you could fork over another $20 bucks and have them enable CPU voltage control.

My best guess is that this feature might be available in the 11th Gen H or K series but it is never going to be available in the 11th Gen U series or in the G7 series like you have. The register still exists in the 11th Gen but trying to write voltage information to this register or read voltage information from this register simply returns an error code. ThrottleStop reports Not Available because trying to read or write any information to the one register that controls everything is being ignored. Using the "change a couple of UEFI variables" method is not going to change anything because the lock bit is already not set. Your 11th Gen is showing that your turbo ratios are not locked so that means the lock bit that they were using is not set. Please help me to expand.In previous Core i Gens, the lock bit would lock both CPU voltage control and it would also lock the turbo ratio limits.

I should also mention I have the Dell Power Management set to 'Ultimate Performance', Windows Power settings to High Performance & I have uninstalled Intel's Thermal Management/Dynamic Tuning thingy. Setting & TPL attached - Disable and Lock Turbo Power Limits is enabled. My Cinebench R23 score is 3685 - lower than the 4501 Tweak Town got with the same machine. In the screenshot you can see running Cinebench Multi Threaded test I am hitting this power limit which is dropping my CPU utilisation down to 81% & throttling to 2.4 GHz with power down to 16 W - all at a mild 56 C!!!! Why is this happening when the temps are so low? Once PL1 is hit power drops down lower than the even the package TDP that intel lists - 28W for the i7-1185G7.

So from my reading my only options are to adjust the power limits - PL2 is respected for a while but then PL1 kicks in about 15 secs after full load - so my Turbo Time Limit of 28 secs also seems to be ignored. I'm unable to undervolt - as I understand it this is due to the EC lock on the Dell BIOS - I've tried turning this off with no success ( apparently I'm not the only one). I seem to be hitting some infuriating and arbitrary power limit. Now my temps are amazing - idling around 38 C and maxing at 84 C - and that's the problem, I can't hit the thermal limit.
Put thermal pads on the heat pipes to transfer heat to the metal case.Removed the reflective tape from the inside of the case.I thought my issues were thermals - so far I have: My goal is get every ounce of performance out of this chip, I don't care about noise or temps.
