MS Edge and chromium based aren't even recognized and most website just say Optimized for Chrome and asks to download Chrome. Its saying using apps compiled and optimized for amd64 architecture but runs only on intel CPUs.

In case anyone is interested in Macrium 8.0 free WinPE. It seems Tim at Majorgeeks or Spartan/Phoenix hasn't updated the links. Macrium Win 11 PE: Macrium Reflect PE Win 11 ADK Hashes: Sha256

I think coming from MSO Essential Office could feel much at home. I use Libreoffice on Linux but on Windows, I had to purchase Office 2021 since there was lot of lost time figuring out encoding or column missing when the client used newer docx/xlsx,pptx in O365.

Unless you have an IPS panel that says Low Power the battery life should be good. 7hrs is good on 30-40Wh battery. Have you tried power saver or best power efficiency in Windows 10/11 for power slider.

I think it is within margin of error. Need to be tested on laptop heatsink with lower pressure to see if it performs better than carbonaut or IC HC pad. In my case with carbonaut and HC pad both 1-2C worse than cooler master maker gel nano paste but its been 3 yrs on carbonaut and 1.5 yrs on HC pad thermal performance has not worsened even at 40-45C ambient temp.

Could only be for a while until msft wrecks it in next update forcing new hardware reqmts.

@ryanhere is the thread where I discussed ICD HC pad. https://notebooktalk.net/topic/171-which-thermal-paste-to-buy-and-apply-traditional-and-liquid-metal/?do=findComment&comment=18122&_rid=188 The first pic is of AW 15 r2 and subsequent ones are from a decade old lenovo ivy-bridge Pentium 2020M which needed repastes every 6 months even with cooler master maker gel due to dry-outs. Tried HC pads on my sis's new laptop which was hitting max temps of 110C due to misconfigured power driver from lenovo that caused 5875u to use 75w. https://notebooktalk.net/topic/1276-thinkpad-l14-gen-3-amd-mini-review/#comment-31596 @Mr. FoxThe first version of ICD graphite sheet which was same as PGS didn't have much reviews and performed worse than top end pastes.

I use arctic thermal pads, they are soft and lasts long time w/o breaking the bank.

I didn't know Kryosheet couldn't handle 13900KS when the site says it can be used OC and sub ambient and Liq. Nitrogen cooling. Its weird it cannot cool 350W+ monster. I usually cut my carbonaut or IC diamond HC pads to fit within the bare die. Carbonaut almost turns charred after burn-in period and its not reusable. This is the new HC pad (5 pack) I've been using for couple after carbonaut became too expensive with import duty from Germany.

Yes, I don't know what happened most taptop oems are using soldered DRAM/Wi-Fi/SSD even on thinkpads with Raptor lake or Zen 4. Its a mess.

Hey @DaMafiaGamer been a long time. Got busy with life and OC'ing isn't any fun with every OEM locking it out, I miss the days when i OC'ed the hell out of crap mid-range which was very enjoyable. Just waiting for right Phoenix Point APU currently most of them are vaporware in India unless I pay top dollars for soldered DRAM,WiFi, SSD model.

Voltage seems to be okay but low and feels more like idle state. Is Intel MEI FW and BIOS up-to-date? LM will not magically bring the CPU temps down if the heatsink is warped/flawed. Also make sure Windows doesn't update your BIOS, more often it installs wrong EC and BIOS meant for older device id/model. Ideally disable BIOS upgrade from Wndows update in BIOS settings.

@ryanSorry for asking this, what's the voltage or VID shown by ThrottleStop or HWINFO for single and all cores usage while gaming or in compute intensive tasks? Do you have latest uCode for your CPU? I remember Intel tweaking min/max VIDs via uCode to prevent Plundervolt or Cash-out exploits.

You can stop Superfetch Service to stop cached RAM issue.

Have you tried uninstalled Asus's thermal or power driver framework? I had 5875U Thinkpad that had worse thermals after swapping the paste with ICD Pad, in my investigation OEM allowed much higher voltage and TDP to push CPU and you will not see current limits or thermal limits until 100C. Blacklisted the said drivers in Group Policy and thermals dropped by 40C from 90-95C to 40C. Maxes around 65C in passive mode. Also Skip UXTU that makes performance worse than stock windows. Just use Windows 10/11 Power Slider. Optionally replace Asus's Radeon Driver for Nimez Driver if AMD iGPU is present as you can adjust if you prefer Performance from Discrete or use as APU to optimize power and performance.

You could install ISLC from wagnard which can remove standby RAM on schedule when there's no free memory. That's the idle RAM amount I've seen on W11 22H2 or whatever. W10 used to do 2GB. @Mr. Fox Just installed 3rd party optimized Amernime driver which enable Media Foundations, Noise Suppression and Windows Studio effects on Vega 8 Thinkpad. I opted to go Enterprise Skin rather than stock skin for Radeon since the laptop is used for somewhat ML/DL using MSFT's DirectML. Studio Effects was maintaining Eye Contact, blur background image segmentation was much better as it was able to figure out correct spaces between my fingers. Even enabled Record and Stream option which is absent on mobility drivers. Driver version is older but it performs much better and you don't get WHQL warnings.

Here I'm 24C-27C on avg after rainfall. In the night its cooler 20-22C and my AW BGA is very cool and quiet along with Pixel 7 reaching max temps 33C and min at 25C as opposed to 42C max and 33C min in summer at 40-45C ambient.

Anyone tried KryoSheets yet?

Faced the same issue. Had to install the older **newer driver in fact** by running AMD Pro GPU setup utility.

Done. Updated OP.

OFC-> Optic Fibre Cable. For Daily usage upwards of 20Mbps barely sees a noticeable difference aside from longer download times on massive files like you said. I hope newer games use Fitgirl like compression

If you're migrating from GAuth to MSAuth I'd suggest going with Aegis or Ente. Its better to export new ones to Cloud or local backup. MS Auth doesn't even export existing 2FA codes unlike GAuth. Unlike their marketing for MS Auth iOS and Android are not cross compatible since iOS uses iCloud so you can't sync from Outlook account in Android.

Just upgraded from 4G to OFC 150Mbps from local provider. Paired the stock wifi with Deco M5 for better connectivity for every room.

@PapusanThis is my sis's new BGA. Still testing the TDP and optimizing it. Lenovo Power manager is broken and sets up too high TDP causing instant thermal throttling. Using UXTU to limit TDP to 18w-20w sustained PL0, 28w short burst PL1 and 25w for long burst PL2. Added Ryzen Power plan 1usmus Ryzen Power Saver Plan. https://hwbot.org/user/v56m/#mywall
