Ok this is what's happening as an example happily gaming and about 10 minutes or less in, game will hang and then the GPU memory etc becomes greyed out, temps never hit max got custom fan curve running, I can only put this down to power draw

so far, ive now installed A15 bios and then the unlocked version, ive now also installed game ready 2080 super notebook drivers - it runs better and seems to manage more gameplay before a crash, im going to investigate further with graphical settings

 

seems to be underload it kicks the gpu off, it never does reach max temp, power draw can be the only conclusion, i need to research the shunt mod as its difficult to find this out.

 

i also have somthing very strange which has happened since ive installed this card, on 3d mark its hard locked at 60 fps unless i go window mode, ive checked many settings in the nvidia control panel, i have changed the DVR options in windows and also switched off gamebar.

 

an update to this post, i have tried many different things out lowering graphics etc and still get the same result, i have now ordered R005 resistors to shunt the card, for a temporary measure i will swap the card out with my RTX 3000.

 

once i get the parts i will look to shunt the card and see if this resolves my power issue.
