Thinner Gaming Laptop Designs Can Hit Combined 215W Power Limits Through Experimental Utility While Approaching Thermal Throttling Ceiling And Jet-Like Fan Noise

Thinner gaming laptop designs can now run the experimental utility to unlock their power limits, but users should be well aware of the risks

Premium gaming laptops like ASUS’ ROG Zephyrus G16 sacrifice performance for better portability, which is why designs like these are capped at 175W. However, one user was tired of seeing the CPU starved for power, which ultimately led him to run the experimental utility called “NvpwrControl,” which unlocks the power limit for various NVIDIA laptop GPUs, with obvious risks involved. Now, the Zephyrus G16 might have successfully demonstrated the ability to run at a 215W power limit, but you’ll soon find it can be an uncomfortable experience for the user. Unless the ambient temperature is chilly, there’s no possible way […]
