Quote from: Alex280 on September 19, 2023, 15:45:45@Dummy user I have the same question as well. Even when I go to settings under system -> battery and choose best efficiency and battery saver, I can't get the processor consumption down below 4w. Using uxtu to change the short and long-term power limits you mentioned didn't help either.You yourself, from your own experience, were convinced of the lies of processor manufacturers about better energy efficiency (despite the fact that the processor in this series is already deliberately stifled) - where does all the "energy efficiency" go if the processor consumes more than 4 W when idle, while even CoffeeLake 2018 with 10nm consumed 1.9W in the "gaming laptop" Dell G5 5587. And despite the fact that I did NOT limit its performance in any way - for 5 years it has been working only and exclusively in the "maximum performance" mode. 100% use time. And it consumes 1.9W at rest, and under load it immediately shoots up to 47W without problems, delivering the maximum stable performance for its series in the CBR15.
The overall charge rate at idle is -6w which is actually pretty good, considering the processor takes up so much.
Can anyone else try running `powercfg /energy` and check if PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) was disabled due to a known incompatibility with the device? Mine has this error, and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it.

Now idling at around 0.7W (CPU ~38C at a 22C ambient temperature), running at up to 75C with fast (boost) workloads up to 30W and sustained 20W TTP. The fan almost never is running. The system is completely silent.
By default the CPU consumes roughly 4W in idle (that's insane), heating up to 100C and consuming 51W for boost workloads and I don't remember how much for the sustained, prolly around 35W. I didn't want any of that. :-)

Quote from: Oleksa on August 15, 2023, 12:52:13There is no USB4!!! This is a lying marketing ploy with a sticker (where are DP2.1 and pci-e?).
One slot for RAM (good thing it's not 8 GB).
Terrible screen.
Only 1 TB of memory...
A huge power supply (did you learn this from Lenovo?)
As usual, the keyboard is not suitable for work.
The red price for this garbage is 900 euros (including tax).
And also a lot of weight (no development). Everything that weighs more than 1.3 kg and up to 2kg feels the same. Everything that weighs more than 2 kg (even 4 kg) feels the same).
1.2 kg is light.
More than 1.2 kg is medium weight, still hard to carry.
More than 2 kg is a huge brick that will kill your back, or carry it in a car.
I want the EU to force manufacturers to work faster and more often.
Do not give 2-3 years for adaptation, because when it is necessary, the manufacturer adapts in 1 month to put an old processor in a new laptop. Or a new processor in an old laptop, and in any case, throw it on the market as garbage.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish certain frameworks, and in a year only those products that meet the conditions will be allowed on the market. Only centralized legal requirements will apply. Instead of shifting the problem to the end consumer, who is unable to fight the manufacturer on his own.
Quote from: Alex280 on September 01, 2023, 18:59:33Anyone who got this laptop with the Ryzen Pro 7840HS or 7940HS managed to undervolt it? If not, can you at least set lower TDP with something like UXTU?
I've heard that HP locks down their laptops more, so am not sure if changes like this would be possible.

Quote from: Dummy user on August 22, 2023, 16:57:07This was written but a complete and utter moron who has no idea what they are talking about, sorry. Windows 10/11 DWM easily eats up to 500MB of VRAM which leaves you with what? 0MB of VRAM for games? Even games from 2007 can easily eat over a 1GB of VRAM, does this mean no games can run at all?Hehe, yeah, this is correct. I just booted into Windows (10) and have nothing open but Edge (3 tabs) with HWiNFO logging stuff in the background - my iGPU sits at 511 MB currently.
iGPUs have been using system RAM for over a decade now. This also means you get a nice performance boost in games if you increase your system RAM speed.
Quote from: Dummy user on August 22, 2023, 16:57:07@Neur123QuoteThe iGPU VRAM is bios capped to 512MB, and the toggle for this in the AMD radeon settings does not work. So if your applications depend on more dedicated VRAM you can run in to issues, games for example can default to low settings but often do run great on the iGPU.
