    Probably lemon heatsink or thermal paste issue

    @angramainyu I agree with @genexis_x
     
    The cores are equally loaded in your screenshot. A 20°C difference between the first two cores is almost always a sign of a heatsink that is not sitting square to the CPU cores or the thermal paste needs to be replaced.

    If it isn't plain sleeve bearing then it would likely end up in tier A.

    note that some laptops have Plundervolt BIOS installed so you can't undervolt

    SX-LPT 700W is in tier D, we don't have any info on SX-LPT 1000W.
    Looks like a reincarnation of Golden Green / King with OTP, but i can't get any info about their 'H.L.B.' bearing, so it's tier B low priority.

    genexis_x reacted to LukeSavenije in How many watts do I need? 2.0 (Intel 10/Nvidia 3000 series update)   
    Introduction:
    By the popular concept of @Aniallation, who since retired from the forum, the "How many watts do I need" is still one of the most asked question by many people wanting to build a PC. By similar methodology, here a simple guideline to how much your PC would need, assuming the quality of the PSU itself is good. These numbers are estimations based off a stress maximum load, one you will likely never reach in normal use. Take these numbers as a guideline, but feel free to ask on the forum itself if you're still not sure what you need with your exact configuration.
     
    Methodology:
    CPU+GPU+50=estimated wattage, chosen worst case out of the configs

    Either it cannot be applied or it will be applied but the APU will thermal throttle

    Both are in tier C, the bazooka is in blue meaning it's one of the better boards in that tier, both have the same vrm but the bazooka performs better due to the larger heatsink.

    Probably thats why I get lower FPS. I reinstalled the Nvidia drivers and FPS increased like 20 in Far Cry 5. My bios isn't up-to-date so I will update my bios too. I am waiting the BIOS update files from tongfang.

    I'm actually impressed, the 6900XT is actually comparable to the rtx 3090 in performance at 500$ less than the 3090. Damn, I wonder how long it will take for nvidia to cut down their prices or start rushing super and ti variants of their cards. Finally AMD brings some much needed competition to the GPU market.

    Sure you can. Open the TS Bench first. You can open the FIVR window after the TS Bench window is already open.
     
    Intel XTU does not apply the voltages consistently after resuming from sleep or hibernate. ThrottleStop does not have this problem.
    ThrottleStop has a couple of safety features. 
     

     
    Use the first option when you are trying out some new voltages settings that you have not previously tested. If your computer crashes, the CPU will reset itself and the voltages will not have been saved to the configuration file.
     

     
    Lots of laptops running the 8750H are using ThrottleStop. The problem is that recent BIOS updates have disabled CPU voltage control. The ThrottleStop FIVR window will show you if CPU voltage control is locked or not.
