So (I guess) the accepted solution at this time is keeping the TGP somewhere below 30W and Performance.bat accommodates for that even though it allows for short bursts up to 35W. So most of my initial work revolved around Performance.bat because like others have reported, this computer in conjunction with Armoury Crate can easily lose charge even when plugged in and used on "Silent" mode if you push the GPU and CPU simultaneously because 65W just isn't enough there (thanks ASUS for this artificial PD limitation). Like I said I don't want to have to carry around this 100W brick with no extra charging ports if something else (=better) will do the job just fine as well. Really the main problem I had until recently was I wasn't setting the -vrmmax-current which apparently is a necessity in terms of really locking down a Ryzen processor as in preventing it from exceeding certain thresholds in terms of wattage and clockspeeds. (work in progess, link to raw text files below) And I guess it goes without saying that I'm not in any way responsible for any damage done to your hardware using these tools in line with my practices outlined here.

Tools required for my setup: RyzenAdj + atrofac (more specifically atrofac-cli) + if you want to do the powercfg.exe stuff then powercfg /list is your friend in terms of finding those strings that match your power plans (I don't know if those can be different from machine to machine).

So as some of you in the Flow Discord have already noticed I've been spending the past few weeks since I got this laptop trying to get this beast of a processor under control mostly for thermal and power consumption reasons but also because I don't want to have to carry around the 100W OEM charger if I can do everything I want to do on a 3rd party charger with multiple Type C and Type A ports in the same form factor. NOTICE: > There is now a newer version of these batches.
