Finally, i tested with 2x16GB Crucial DDR4 2666Mhz modules in Dual-Channel, and nothing changed. The CPU Power is still capped at 25W when gaming. I tried undervolting CPU (-150mV) and GPU, and the cap is still there.

Alright then. I will probably order a new 16GB stick to put it in Dual Channel. If i see any difference in the power limit, i will let you know in this thread. Thank you for the info.

I totally agree with you, these are unrelated things. But in this post, there are 3 people claiming that using ram in Dual Channel fixed the 25W cap.

Yes, CPU-Z shows Dual Channel, but as far as i know, it is working in Intel Flex Mode (8GB of the 16GB module work in Dual Channel with the 8GB Module that came with the laptop, and the other 8GB of the 16GB module work in Single Channel). Probably that 8GB of Single Channel is not letting me unlock the power limit. I'm using the latest bios (307) for the FX504GM. And i'm always using the Laptop in Overboost mode. I'm thinking in buying another 16GB module, exactly the same as the Crucial one that i'm using, to test real Dual Channel. Are you monitoring the CPU Power consumption when playing Zelda, NBA or GTA? Are you seeing a 45W cap? Or does it move freely?

Have you tried any other game to check if the Power Limit is above 25W? I installed an 16GB additional ram to the 8gb one that came with the laptop, and they are working in Dual Channel. But still, i keep seeing the 25W limit when gaming. How much did you undervolt the GPU and CPU?
