Hi guys,
I also got the THING but I was only able to make a sneak peek (YouTube short) as I’m not available today, enjoy!

I believe mine is scheduled for Monday delivery. Thanks for the video though. The size is still fairly reasonable considering it’s 240w.
Yup and in volume it’s like half an old dell barrel 240w Psu, that’s kinda crazy lol
^ Baseus 240W Smart USB C Charger, 5 Ports PD 3.1 GaN. I am using this and it has an app and you can see a graph of power delivery performance over time. Don’t have a eGPU graphics module so can’t push it that much to ascertain full capacity.
240w is total power it can provide
only 140W on one port, though (and 100w on another)

an eGPU would not be using the laptop power supply in any case.
Also, as someone else stated, that supply is not a true 240w. It can only max out at 140w.
That’s the best price so far for this charger. I went ahead and also got it myself. Just under $150 shipped.
Even mouser is about $20 more (before shipping/taxes):

Going to see if battery will drain even when CPU and dGPU at 100% (or while playing games a full performance mode in Windows).
Elevated Systems don’t have his FW16 anymore if I recall. I wish he still have it to test with this PSU.

Oh nice, thats a good find. Been using one of their older chargers that had 100w usb pd alongside a universal jack for other oem heads.
This could be a good alt to the delta

Wow, that one looks nicer and with detachable cord, too. But I’ve never heard of this site either, and it looks like we have to subscribe to it?
it’s not actually a released product yet, this is basically a “notify me when it’s available” thing.
it will almost certainly be on amazon once it’s shipping.

You got your machines apu to pull 65w? Any bios tweaking beforehand or is this normal? Most I’ve gotten is 54w with the bios tweaking albeit on a 61w charger
65W peak power was reported by HWINFO for a very brief period of time (1 or 2 seconds max). I have seen other people report up to 80W but it doesn’t really effect performance due to the very short time at the peak power.
I have not modified my bios and expect that this is normal behavior.
iGPU or dGPU?
Would the different GPUs make a diff?
I do not have the 7700S dGPU in my system. My APU power numbers (package power) include the CPU and iGPU. HWINFO also shows CPU power and GPU power individually, but I didn’t use that for my testing.
I don’t think the APU power numbers from my Cinebench test would be very different if my system did have the 7700S installed because it focuses on the CPU. In graphics intensive situations it could be different
Ah ok, I def would like to see 80w one day, maybe can make it sustained by tweaking the cooling setup

It might make a difference due to the larger fans, heard somewhere that cpu wattage mightve been on a “if gpu installed” basis after someone looked at the git repo, but if you have your machine peaking at 65 and others have seen 80 then im not sure
Announced, but not shipping until March or so:

I modified my bios with smokeless umaf - I set PBO to peak at 75w - that being said - it looks like the limit is right around 65w on mine (maybe hard locked there… not sure?) and it throttles down to about 55-58w sustained. Once I get below 60w, I don’t seem to hit 100c anymore.
For clarification, I have swapped my CPU with PTM.

Ah, so pbo is what I’d need to modify to get it to pull over 54w? I could only get 54 cos it was a stock option in umaf
