My Ryzen 7040 laptop is always docked, lid closed. Today I tried flipping the laptop upside down, exposing the air vents upwards. This reduced my temps by 11ºC under load, compared to just placing it normally on a table that’s already warm from the workload. It’s better than placing raisers under the laptop and is comparable to having the laptop fully open while holding it in the air. I don’t know why it took me more than a year to find this.

Hey, just wanted to ask if you every encountered any issues running the laptop like this. I’ve never thought about this, and I might start running an upside down configuration in the futre as well…
