    I have been using this laptop for almost a year and a half, and there are a few questions. I suggest these behavior features are firmware bugs.

    -> Unpredictable operation of Power Throttling, not having a clearly defined dependence on the values of PL1 / 2. At PL1 = 45W, the frequency drop (consumption without undervolting in Prime 95 is 55W at 3.5 GHz) occurs after 28 s, at PL1 = 55W - after 50 s, at PL1 = 60W - after 80-90 s. The temperature does not exceed 85 ° C.

    -> When simultaneously loading the processor and video card, incomprehensible Thermal Throttling skips occur regularly (the frequency jumps from 3.5 to 1.5 and back). In games - rarely, with a overclocked GPU - more often, when you start FurMark + Aida / Prime 95 - almost constantly.
    And XTU sees this throttling, but HWInfo does not. The temperature of the processor does not exceed 80 ° C, the GPU doesn't even reach 70 ° C.

    -> After warming up the video card to a temperature above 70 ° C, if you stop use it (close the game / benchmark / stress test), the GPU fan sometimes doesn't turn off before going into sleep mode or restarting regardless of the GPU temperature.

    Do you have any ideas for fixing this problems?
