Max multiplier (from 37x to 40x) is a UEFI tweak that can work depending on the cooling strategy. Improper cooling and the performance drops more than the 37x setting.looking at the output from voltageshift in your photo, seems you also set the max Multiplier to 4000Mhz on all cores, that could possibly be cause of hot cpu. Also the power limits say 30w, 50w, I don't think this chip is supposed to have that much power. don't quote me on any of this because I really don't know
the 8550U is a 15W TDP chip, but again with better cooling you can increase the ceiling to get better performance. I've found 22W for my setup is around the peak performance mark, but haven't revisited this in a while.
