Yeah I'm good. Thanks Mr Fox. I did check with few notebook work and gaming reviewers and they didn't have this issue. It's only a year and the problem with Ryzen is lack of system tools that can give precisely what's going on i.e Ryzen matter, UXTU etc don't work. I do miss TS now.

At this point I won't be surprised if users will skip Windows 12 and Windows 11 25H2

Any Zen3+/4/5 mobile users having issues with mixed single core and multicores after June updates on Windows 11? Battery life took a hit. I've been updating my old devices with latest firmwares and drivers. Customized Power Profiles aren't saved and gets reverted every reboot on 23H2/24H2 with 8840HS. Everything is updated. The problem is offline OS servicing which takes almost 2 hrs even though HWINFO/HWMon shows CPU works at max 5.1GHz and all core perf 3.8-4GHz. Generally feels slow because during April/May the same tasks completed within 30 mins with ReFS/NTFS Dev Drive as well with normal NTFS partitions. Currently even with same setup it feels slow. I have tried changing turbo boost mode from aggressive to efficient aggressive on AC and disabled it on battery. Gaming with eGPU now yields good FPS without reaching 96C and maxes out at 86C. I switched to Bazzite NVIDIA GPU ISO and noticed idle and operating temps were under 50C and 75C. I couldn't try my eGPU and battery life was very less 2-2.5hrs. Checked few forums and Framework user forums and people said there's lot of missed firmware updates pending with bleeding edge fedora and can improve 7840U/8840 series with stellar battery life 10-12hrs. I actually added my custom power profile at github https://github.com/vasudev-gm/Ryzen_CustomPowerProfiles

After recent Win 10/11 updates TS users will be seeing grayed out BD-PROCHOT checkbox on H/HQ/U series.

@Mr. Fox @Papusan @jaybee83 managed to fix the inconsistent cpu performance in gaming and high-Low CPU usage issues with Process Lasso with Performance and Idle Saver enabled. I didn't think I would be using Process Lasso during my Vista/7 days in 2025 with Windows 11. Windows 11 task manager is broken and doesn't calculate the right CPU frequency of Ryzen on both 23H2 and 24H2. Also, did a cache benchmark from AIDA64 using Strelec with only basic ryzen drivers installed and found the minimum memory latency to 97ns to 105ns compared to my aging skylake 6700hq with 54.5ns on 2667MHz DDR4 which might explain day to day latency I felt skylake was better than ryzen unless I run PS5 ported games and anything CPU heavy.

I've that subset of feature on my thinkpad thanks to ultrasonic and IR camera with windows hello. It worked great on AC but it accelerates CPU to top speed even on battery. Currently I've trouble with hawk point aka Zen 4 with NPU 8840HS pushing the clocks 5.1G on single and 3.8G on all cores pushing temps to 97C and app performance gets stuck/tanked at balanced preset. I went Manixx low power balanced and tweaked turbo boost mode from aggressive to efficient aggressive and disabled on battery to get good battery life similar to Zen3+. CB R23 MC 9000 points on 24H2 balanced and with tweaked boost mode pushed the score to 13k with same 97C peak and sustaining at 87C. Eventually switched to 23H2 because recent update after a reboot took out my IR, fingerprint and camera with object not found code 37 error. Seeing very inconsistent CPU performance and battery life. Very strange issue and I did check with few YT laptop reviews and I didn't see any replies from author or community. BTW, I used Power Settings Explorer from Guru3d and saved power profile are imported manually every reboot. @Mr. Fox @Papusan @jaybee83 Its my first AMD CPU in 25 years and driver or firmware wise I'm completely dependent on lenovo because generic chipset and gpu drivers caused more headaches and random BSODs halfway during Zoom meeting due to NPU suddenly disappearing.

Yep. I'm trying out my long time passion of using eGPU with desktop GPU and didn't wanna buy another 3000-4000$ laptop and instead went with thinkpad P14 with USB4 support. The GPU fans are not running at all even with 50+ videos waiting to be encoded with h265 and Av1 on FHD-QHD. On 4k it starts to choke on longer video. Then again, DLSS 4 transformer image preset caused significant power reduction from 180W to 100W and even more efficient than 980M and super cool from the factory paste and pads at 84C on memory and 60C on GPU core at an ambient temp of 40C. Laptop GPU power isn't enough for me anymore.

Just an update, switching to Chromium in phases after latest firefox fiasco. I can't even turn off their AI after latest update v136.

You were able to get 9070XT at MRP? In India 9070 and XT are at 929 and 964$. I got 4070S last month at 800$ and its still higher by 100-200$ on WIndforce OC in March 2025. Asus, MSI are crossing over 1000$ for 4070S & 4070S Ti. Blackwell stocks are vaporware and even local distributors were unaware.

I can't even remove it once inserted on my gigabyte windforce 4070S OC GPU on ATX 3 PSU MSI ABN. Its just too tight. It was scary for me coming from 6+2 cables which were easy to remove and route.

Hey everyone I'm taking mini steps into desktop realm once again after 15 years. My first step is I got eGPU and didn't want a laptop with nvidia. Chose a USB4 thinkpad and 4070 Super. I'm totally impressed with out of the box GPU temps and is super silent and 0 rpm fan on heavy encode test using Av1 Temps were 54C on 3GB 90Mbps game capture. Did try my hand with AI tools through Nvidia broadcast and its quite good. Cost wise I know its expensive considering India has high tariffs. I managed to get least expensive 4070 Super GPU called Gigabyte Windforce OC at $900. Original MRP just 1900$. I was waiting for 5070 or 5080 but it was nowhere to be found in India and after talking with my local distributors I went with Ada. I have been using FSR 3 for a quite a while but DLSS 3.5 at Quality is pretty good and I had to nitpick my recording otherwise it was pretty good. I wanted to check if anyone had covered this material regarding blackwell compute performance and why its a sidegrade unless you're on 3-4 older GPU generations. Blackwell Architecture PDF

I got myself P14s Gen 5 and an 4070 Super eGPU with ADT-UT3G

I just went with paid Dolby Atmos Effects which I got on heavy rebates with new PC and linked to my MSFT account. The effects now works on my old alienware and lenovo which are almost a decade old.

Got my hands on PTM7950 thermal pad which I specifically bought for my 4070 Super thinking temps would be bad out of box and so far its been good with core temps at 65C and memory hotspot at 84C with ambient temp of 29-35C with >90% humidity.

My Custom ISO comes without Edge and EdgeWebView for both 23H2 and 24H2 using Dism hidden flags shared by abbodi1406 from MDL and shared my findings/results as well. I switched back to Chromium builds and trying out Min Browser in portable modes.
