Hi there
Yes the Valeon has the Max-P versions of RTX 3070 and 3080 . For the RTX 3080 it should be 150w +15w boost = 165 watt total TGP . For the RTX 3070 it is 125w +15w boost = 140w TGP which is max for that GPU .

Just had it reconfirmed that the Valeon series does not have the Max-P card, they come with the 130w versions, it's only the recoil laptops that have the top 165w card

This is odd as the RTX Valeon in this tread below has the 150+15w RTX 3080 16 GB version
Valeon RTX 3080, Ryzen R9 5900HX. Its a bit of a monster really.
Full disclosure, initially I ordered the Ionico with the same specs as the Valeon I ended up with. I had to change the order as the Ionico chassis was out of stock when PCS got to my order. Initially I was worried about switching as I thought the Valeon aesthetically looked absolutely terrible...

Thats wrong. I have one and I can confirm it is 165W.

Yeah I read that thread myself which is exactly why I contacted PCS this morning to ask what version of 3080 will be in my Valeon which I ordered yesterday and they told me that ALL the 3080's are the 115w +15w dynamic boost (130w total) so I feel a little deflated after spending nearly 3k on a laptop 😫

I hope you're right mate because they are telling me something completely different

Why would then the RTX 3080 be of a lesser performance to the RTX 3070 in the same chassi ?

So the default Gaming profile in Control Center limits it to 115W + 15W but its the full 150 + 15 W card you just have to change the setting in Control Center.

Unless they have changed the chassis since mine was built last week I am not wrong.
I have watched my GPU boost up to 165W when running benchmarks it is definitely a Max-P card.

I have copied the reply they sent me when I asked the question about TGP for the 3080
Dear
Thanks for contacting us.
Max TGP support on this system would be: 115W
Game like Warezone would be roughly about 120 to 150fps depending on the map.
There are many benchmarks on YouTube you can have a look with this certain GPU: Laptop RTX 3080 115W
If we can assist you any further, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Many Thanks

The default profile is that the card is set to 115 + 15 W. But its designed for you to configure it yourself. You can change everything from the CPU wattage to TGP values and boost frequencies. It is like that out of the box so you wont be voiding any warranties or anything its all part of Tong Fangs Control Center software. You can set the laptop up for how you want.

Of course in order for it to boost up to 165W you need to limit the wattage to the CPU. I have done that any way because the 5900HX runs extremely hot. If you are gaming with the laptop then this isnt a problem but if you need to do some sort extremely heavy CPU tasks it could be a problem?
I have PL1 and PL2 states set to 25W at the moment (the default is 50C) and in games I've bought temps down from around 95-97C to around 77-80C and I have lost on average 4 frames from my average FPS so its well worth it.

Is that screenshot of the SPC settings what you use all the time? I ordered my Valeon yesterday with the same sort of specs as you and I intend to primarily use it for gaming, so would you say those settings are the sweet spot?

Yes they are. So far they seem to be working great but I have spent most of my time running benchmarks with the laptop in that setting. You cant see the SPL and sPPT values but they are both set at 20. I have played A load of BF 2042 with those settings and it seemed stable, also a load of Days Gone again it seems stable.
Just to prove that the laptop is actually boosting up to 165W here is a quick screen shot I took from Heaven literally 5 minutes ago.
Sorry the original image was too big and if I made it smaller you couldn't read the text.
There you can see the CPU is limited to 20W the GPU has boosted up to 165W. If you look in the top right it shows you my Valeon's specs.

Gleaming mate! This has made my day to be honest as I felt a little disappointed when they told me the 3080 was only 115w, but this has given me that warm fuzzy feeling 🤣
