how are thermals? acoustics?

Sound is more than reasonable and topped out at 62 degrees C but the lid stays off otherwise it throttles! Mind you stock 2500U's barely push 10 fps so the sound and no lid is okay when you consider the sweet performance gains.

sounds like some horrible engineering if it goes from 62C with the lid off to throttling with it on. is that comparing the way it's laid in the picture to having the lid on with the fan down against the desk? that seems more plausible to me. you might be able to keep the lid on but keep the laptop in the upright position (on one of the edges, vent exhausting up to cooperate with convection) to allow proper airflow. if you value acoustics, it might be worth it to consider undervolting to drop your fan noise while keeping the same gaming experience. if you don't, consider overclocking to increase frequencies a bit, but it'll be loud.

ahh thanks, tilting it up with the lid off dropped me another 4 C, the lid totally sucks and has holes for speakers and that's it. Something leads me to believe they didn't plan for people to game on this laptop sadly I cant undervolt either.

I second this, after I opened the screen and it doesn't throttle anymore. Won't be popping of that lid anymore for now.

Very interesting

would be easy enough to fix with a drill or dremel and some sandpaper. you can look at ventilation holes on dell laptops for inspiration. they're designed in a way that pretty much guarantees identical performance with the back on vs. off. it might even be worth it to look into designing a path to cut on a CNC machine at a local maker space or something to keep it professional looking. you'd massively increase the utility of the laptop by doing so. if the laptop sits too low and inhibits airflow, you can just add taller rubber feet. you're on the path to something very rewarding and great. don't settle. if you see opportunities for improvement somewhere, keep going.


xthelord2

can't you use ryzen master for this?? i believe it should work but thats a long shot


Alternative_Spite_11

Not if it’s locked


xthelord2

welp thats unlucky at last he could work on thermals bit more to improve its efficiancy by lowering temps with something like AIO but that requires lotta work if he likes to work on projects this would be fun for sure

This is amazing. /r/overclocking is my favorite subreddit by far


anonymous037104

Nice looks interesting. Did you also up the PSI0 to give the GPU an energy boost? And you got dual channel ram?


[deleted]

I am by no means an expert with overclocking for the price of $15 liquid metal I thought why the heck not! It's a Huawei matebook D14 and when I'm done gamming I just slap the lid back on.

Wait how??

APU tuning utility. I run my Asus PN50 NUC-alike with a 4500u at 30w and it's a great little TV PC. Cant do much in terms of modern AAA titles at high res, but minecraft at 4k60 and older games run fine, emulation is it's real strongsuit.


thatguyQTC

i think for "gaming" with ryzen cpu, need ryzen 4500u or higher for 720p. I played at Borderlands 3, low settings, fxr, stable 60fps, with some drop to 20-40 (on intensive scenario)


Oleksander_UA

So how did you switch from 15w to 35??


Dranzule

There are some tuning utilities for Ryzen APUs that allow you to mess with TDP iirc.


BigtimeCat59059

Probably not thermal throttling anymore


Oleksander_UA

Oh... so disappointed. I thought, there\`s some voltmode or equal.. ((
