I used conductonaut and repasting was not so hard. I also applied LM on gpu and now idle temp is around 38-40C. 300W power brick doesn’t change performance. Lenovo Vantage shows that 255W AC is attached even though 300W is attached. So maybe p16 doesn’t use more than 255W. I tried to unlock cfg too but looks like bios is write protected… (same error as this post : https://github.com/datasone/grub-mod-setup_var/issues/4)

Before ordering 300W ac, I applied liquid metal (conductnaut) for cpu and diamond grease (DX-2) for gpu. I didn’t use LM for gpu cuz gpu doesn’t get too hot while loading. Idle temp is around 45℃ for both cpu and gpu. R23 single test score get around 23k and looks like LM works. I tried 10min test but package power go down to around 60W after turbo boost power time so couldn’t get enough performance. I still see some thermal throttling but cpu goes around 4GHz and package power get around 157W (3.6-7GHz and 110-120 W before LM). I’m gonna order 300W AC and see how performance changes.

r23 score after repaste. I noticed core frequency get over 4.9GHz during single core test. (4.6GHz before repaste) I’ll try 300w ac brick and see how it can affect performance.

That’s nice! I ordered g9 with 12850hx and a1000 few weeks before, and realized they don’t have vapor chamber after received it… Build quality and performance were very good but I hate its fan noise. It makes strange clicky noise when starting up and also makes strange beat while spinning constantly. Idk if it’s because of non-vapor chamber configuration but I just got rid of it and ordered p16 with vapor chamber. (12900hx and a3000) So I’m pretty interested in performance of g9 with vapor chamber. Looks like your g9 and my p16 have the same configuration, so I’m very grad if we could share some feelings and reviews on them.

did you choose rtx a1000 or a2000？
