CPU sometimes gets stuck in some sort of low power mode

@Atemu

don’t expect it to change anything though as its patch notes don’t claim to have changed anything about power management

It was reported that after bios 3.05 there is battery drain while doing stuff such as gaming in balanced mode, which was originally not supposed to be getting battery drain.

@Atemu

Especially the fingerprint reader has been extremely reliable for me; never had an issue with it.

That’s excellent to hear! I was having issues with it after sleep/suspend, same with the touchpad.

@Atemu

Not yet. I plan to do so but not because I expect an improvement in thermals but to mitigate the risk of breakage

Currently a lot of users with the laptop 16 are experiencing an issue where the Liquid Metal runs off of the die, and as a result the whole processor thermal throttles under a load and overall is a lot more loud. I replaced mine after detecting the issue (after I read about it.)

@Atemu

I’d actually expect the PTM to be significantly worse w.r.t. thermals than the liquid metal

Perhaps, but it’s not as good at the moment due to potential runoff.

@Atemu

I’d like to verify this however. Is there any sort of log for thermal events?

I personally used S-tui and stress/cinebench to provide an all core load. You’ll see in the S-tui graphs that one of the cpu cores will be significantly hotter than the rest if you’re being affected by the issue.
