Managed to get a pretty decent and undervolt - All cores @ 4.2Ghz with 1.25V netted me:
81PPT Max usage - 83c Cinebench R20 scores (5024)
Decided to go against using it and just letting Ryzen handle the voltages. What people forget is that using set clocks affects the single-core boost clock...
I've toyed with using a laptop cooling pad (which also raises the laptop,) and I can honestly say there's not that much of a difference with regards to temperatures - although I still use the pad for ergonomics.
That said - I removed the laptop bottom panel and used the cooling pad and Jesus...
If you're not too bothered about system restore points, you can delete them too.
Open CMD as admin and type the following:
VSSADMIN list shadows
This will show you all the shadow copies / restore points for the drive.
To delete all, you'd type vssadmin delete shadows /for=c
To delete just...
Hi mate,
I hope you're well.
Copper discolours over time - nothing to be concerned about. With regards to your Idle temperatures, the Ryzen's do idle far hotter than others. I wouldn't be overly concerned in all fairness. What you can do, is use the "slider" under balanced power-plan setting...
I've finally figured it out - It appears that my router's "static arp entry" is not really static, and is actually not ARP but a DHCP reservation (despite the naming of this.) As a result, the ARP table is refreshing when the laptop is powered off for longer than 5 minutes.
I've got a...
Fast startup is indeed off - Never felt the need for it with SSD's.
I've turned hibernation off - Never really felt a need for this either.
When the missus gets home I'll ask her to power on so I can remote on and tinker around; so I should have further information.
I believe it's in relation...
Hey Spyder,
Hope you're well mate,
I do have CCC installed, however I have the main service set to disabled (so as to not interfere with the power to the CPU etc.)
I'll have my partner home from work in a couple of hours so I'll ask her to resume the laptop from standby, that way I can at least...
Oh it's most definitely easier that way - However what type of engineer would I be if I didn't spend hours trying to get this working? Haha.
I just don't like things being left "on" if they're not made for it.
I'm sure I'll figure it out tonight
Mainly, just because, haha - I've got a fair amount of downtime at work at the moment due to COVID unfortunately, so a lot of the network migration projects are currently on hiatus whilst we sort service provider engineers out. Due to this, i'm sat twiddling my thumbs for about 75% of my work...
Sorry, WoL = Wake on Lan (ethernet), WoWLan = Wake on wireless Lan (which has never been made a standard.)
I agree that there's something powering off the device; I can attest that all options within windows are set to not "allow device to turn off power," and all advanced driver configurations...
Hey man,
Hope you're well.
All options have been configured windows side and firewall side - it works for about 5 minutes when laptop's sleeping, but then it doesn't work at all.
Using wireshark I can see the packets reaching my laptop both internally and externally - I'm using UDP 9 internally...
Hey guys,
Hope you're all well.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with Wake on Lan on the Nova 15 (or other reseller devices?)
I seem to have intermittent success - I've added a static route in my DHCP for the laptop and subsequently set a static IP within Windows. I've tested...
Hi Guys,
These laptops do run hot, as we all know. However, there are times where the temperature is running too hot and close to thermal throttle point (95c) for extended periods of time. This is most definitely not normal.
Before you go to further lengths like @JosDea has and use copper...
Hey there,
Sorry to hear you're having the screen brightness issue as well.
I kept on pestering daily, is the honest answer. I work in IT and have worked on many service desks - keep on pestering daily. I absolutely hated it when clients did it with me, but you can bet your arse it got me to...
