I’m on Windows and have pretty good thermals as far as I can see. I’d like to increase the PL1 power limit by 5 watts, to 20W to get better sustained performance. I’ve tried using ThrottleStop, and HWMonitor reflects the changes I make there, but the CPU still gets limited to the stock 15W no matter what I try. What can I do to increase the TDP?
Ok, so I’ve done a bit of digging and found this: EmbeddedController/zephyr/program/framework/sunflower/src/cpu_power.c at fwk-sunflower-26784 · FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController · GitHub
Specifically the code block under /* AC+DC and AC < 55W */. My power adapter is 45W, powers a bunch of USB peripherals alongside the laptop and still has power left over to charge the battery at like 5W. I wouldn’t mind some of that power going to the CPU…
Just to verify, I plugged in a 100W charger and found that the sustained TDP of the CPU is indeed raised to 20W with it in use. But I want to use my 45W one!!
If I completely refuse to reflash my EC and possibly brick my system, there’s no way I’m getting past this 15W limit right?
