    Hi guys,

    It's been a while I've posted anything in here. My laptop is working pretty well, etc.

    But I've got a little annoying "problem": when I plug my laptop into my 27 inches BenQ screen (and make the image appear only on the BenQ), the clocks of the GPU instantly go to 100/150. It's not a big problem since I use AMD GPU clock tool and go back to 405/1000 or 700/1000, etc.

    Is there a way I could change it? I suppose it is this way because my laptop interprete the situation as "THE SCREEN IS CLOSED: SAVE POWER: SHUT DOWN GPU", but well, that's not handy...

    Thanks!

    Is this on idle? or gaming? or watching flash?

    On everything. Whenever I just open documents, go to the internet or game. I don't use powerplay nor overdrive. Maybe turn these on would solve the problem, but I'd like to find a solution like "when you open your computer, whenever you're plugged in a screen or not, you're at 405 or 625/ 1000 and then you can change it manually with AMD GPU Clock tool".

    If you don't use PowerPlay then this can only be resolved by editing the vbIOS.
