Overclock for a little bit more performance

[Paul1964]

If I'm not mistaken, Control Center settings will be saved in the BIOS. Am I correct, @SpyderTracks ?

PL1/PL2/PL4 values are insane, no surprise about thermal throttling

Try something like this to begin:
Enable Temp Limit - 85 (or anything below 90)
PL1 55, PL2 60-63, PL4 115 (even lower)
Deactivate - Enable Automatic GPU Overboost
Fan Switch Speed - much lower than that

Download some stress test software (e.g., Prime 95, AIDA64, Cinebench, OCCT, Furmark) and monitoring software (e.g., HWiNFO/HWMonitor) and run them for at least 10 minutes while reviewing CPU/GPU values.

I'll compare my setup with what you suggest, I might be able to squeeze out a bit more performance on my system. My best Cinebench R23 score is 31,040 - it will be interesting to see if my score goes up.

3D Mark TimeSpy shows that I'm above average for my specs, (don't remember the score off the top of my head) so will be good if I can squeeze a bit more.

I run Micro$oft Flight Simulator and it's very resource hungry.

Considering that @Paul1964 has your very same laptop, he could suggest better PLs than me

With all that said you still need the watercooler.

Be advised that those PLs are more similar to my ones with a locked 12700H (PL1 45, PL2 55, PL4 65).
I keep those low PLs 'cause I care more about temperatures than benchmark scores (cinebench score is much lower with them) and gaming performances are good for my needs.

At the moment, how did you set your PLs? You can go much higher with the external cooler.

They are at the default settings but I run with a 150mv undervolt on the CPU as this helps keep the temperatures under control.

The external cooler is the main thing though. The water pipe in the 2023 Recoils concentrates itself on the GPU and the CPU only gets help from what can be passed along the heat pipe to the water pipe. The 2024 models have been redesigned to also provide water-cooling assistance to the CPU as well as the GPU. That 14900HX is a hot one!

You can push for sure a bit more then
