Question on the 180W power supply

The CPU alone cannot consume enough power to make the whole system exceed 180W (the 7940HS is limited to around 54W by AMD, Framework’s configuration might be lower), so you don’t have to worry about running into this with Visual Studio. Even if you did run everything on the dGPU instead of the iGPU, you’d have to put an actual load on the dGPU to make to consume enough power to exceed 180W (according to AMD, the GPU can consume up to 100W under load).
