Here is the chance to do something about this. I am now in direct contact with an engineering team. If you can recreate or show there is indeed an issue with throttling with a 240w adaptor and/or an issue with the fan tables please post about this now. Any information would be very helpful.
Question: Where did we find out that all the BIOS(s) after A00 were a "Hybrid Bios"?
Please don't slack on this and give me as much information as you can.
The best info you can provide is one with steps on how to recreate. If they can recreate this themselves that would show that there is a defect in the design and would be a win for everyone.
Thanks for your time!

With 240w Adapter i only get thermalthrottling with a01+. Its pretty simple to recreate: Just Play the Game " Arc" at highset Settings. After a Short Time the cpu will drop to 2.4ghz and wont Do any Turbo anymore. Cores will reach 90 degree Celsius and more.
The only thing you have to Do for recreation is: just Do something graphical and CPU intense stuff (maybe unigine Heaven and Intel xtu stress Test). The cores will get so freakin hot with a01+ that you will encounter thermal throttling -
