Sounds like a plan. This is a second hand laptop and it exhibited the issue when I've got it when it appeared to be running on vanilla PCS configuration. But obviously this was assumed as I don't and will never know the full history of the laptop. I was just curious that other people experienced...

No, I found it in download section in my account for the laptop.

Late entry, but it probably shows how drivers got optimised over time. PCS Ionico 17, 11800H, 3080, max fans, CPU -100mV, GPU -75mV, no overclock. Firestrike score 26159, graphics 34141, physics 25036, combined 9745, temp 62C. https://www.3dmark.com/fs/31346165 Timespy score 12683, graphics...

For clarity, the suspicion was about your wrong assumption regarding ownership transfer. I'm describing my experiences with different Clevo/Tongfang laptops and how closely they match NBC reviews. Your experience may be different. Let's leave it at that.

I know this is an old thread, but anyway. My Ionico 17 with the same CPU and BIOS version allows undervolting via Throttlestop. When I contacted PCS regarding a newer BIOS some time ago, they said I had the most up to date one.

I think I clearly wrote that I installed PCS CC, version 5.1.49.11, and the laptop exhibits the same issue.

Again, irrelevant in this case. If you read the review, PL is set at 120W, but the laptop won't get there due to thermal limitations of cooling system, which is the same for both laptops. There was a review of this particular PCS on this forum if you want to compare them. I've had Clevos from...

You are splitting hairs. Whether it's marketing or not, is irrelevant. The point is that 13900H has (significantly) lower power limits and is designed for use in laptops. At idle 13900 alone draws more power than the whole laptop with 13900H. Back on topic. Notebookcheck has reviewed XMG Pro 16...

13900h is a mobile chip limited to 115W, but that's irrelevant. OP was asking about non-gaming, presumably office type work, and 5 hours battery life seems likely from this config, based on similarly specced laptops reviews from different vendors.

Yes, and just like OP I followed the same procedure when reinstalling system, drivers etc. downloaded from PCS account.

In terms of battery life, it's a bit unfair comparison. Octane III was a behemoth with desktop CPU and always-on discrete GPU, probably consuming at least 50W just idling. OP specs mention laptop CPU with switchable graphics. My Ionico with similar configuration idles at around 15W despite the...

Have you ever found a solution? I have the same issue with Ionico running Windows 10, although with Intel CPU. I configured many laptops in the past and this is the first behaving like this. Thanks.

Follow-up. Not sure what the issue was, but after repasting with MX-4 and later MX-6 the same phenomenon would happen. After a few weeks of use CPU's max wattage before throttling would slowly drop and any load applied would cause a temperature shoot up to 95C fairly quickly. Intel chip could...

I've just bought second hand Ionico II with nearly the same specs. 11800h when loading all cores uses up to 100W of power and temperature jumps to 95C pretty quickly. It can't sustain max. boost clock due to thermal limits, and eventually settles at around 4GHz and 80W of power at max. fan...
