You're right. I bought that ram kit last year for my 2021 TUF F15 laptop and it does run at the advertised CL without having to use XMP profiles.

So a week ago I bought a Gigabyte UD850GM PG5 (rev. 2.0), for my system (Aorus B550 Elite V2, Ryzen 5 5600, EVGA RTX 3060 XC Gaming), since I want to upgrade to a 5700x3d or 5800x3d in the near future and I wanted to have more headroom. That PSU seemed to be really well priced in my country, and...

Check the power cables for the GPU if you haven't already. I had an EVGA 3060 that had the same issue, it was fixed when I plugged it in with the first power connector on the cable, as opposed to the one at the end of the cable.

Probably yes, but can't really tell without comparing the two videos directly. AV1 is a newer, more efficient codec, so it would make sense that it would compress more efficiently while retaining video quality.

Maybe you could try this? It's not quite as good as undervolting, but setting boost mode from agressive to any of the other options can help. The most effective is "Disabled" but it will disable Turbo Boost, so try "Efficient aggresive" or any of the other options first.

Not to butt in, but the video has a solution that should be CPU-agnostic. It's just disabling turbo boost in windows power settings so that the laptop will run cooler and more consistently, at the cost of losing the extra performance from the boost. I used the same guide for an Asus TUF laptop...

IDK about 40 series, but I bought a Palit RTX 3060 Dual for an older pc at home earlier this year and I think it's pretty good. I even managed to turn it into the factory OC version with BIOS flashing, as the OC'S BIOS has a matching HW ID, the only changes being slightly higher boost clock and...

Idk, I did flash my ASUS F15's GPU once, but it was a fixed version of the original 60w VBIOS that removed a glitch related to power limits. The GPUZ errors in your case are a sign of an mismatched/incorrect VBIOS.

Laptop GPUs aren't really meant for this kind of flashing, as the higher power variants are often built differently to accomodate things like cooling or higher wattage, (as opposed to desktop GPUs where the overclocked variants often just have the boost clocks and max power limit raised slightly...

I think we pretty much have the same laptop. Mine is an F15 FX506HEB with the same CPU and Nvidia GPU as your laptop, but it is 15 inch size, while yours is a 17 inch one, since it's an F17. As for the VBIOS flash, you should ask somebody more experienced like eidairaman1. They can give you...

Yeah, I know. I just hoped that I could get it fixed without having to send back the laptop and such as it worked fine otherwise, and flashing it seemed to be a logical option and in the end it worked. Thanks for the info though, I always thought that the VBIOS was always stored separately...

I used nvflash the same way it is used on desktop (disable Nvidia GPU in device manager before flashing) and it worked just fine. The power limit bug went away after that. I suspect that it had to do with the card not "waking up" correctly, as it would always happen after I let the laptop go to...

Had this happen to me with the F15 variant of the laptop earlier this year, fixed it by flashing a newer version of the VBIOS from this site's GPU BIOS database.

This might be a long shot, but check if the GPU BIOS database has a newer version of your vbios. My Asus TUF F15 laptop had the same issue, and flashing the latest bios image i found for the gpu fixed it.

Hello everyone, I also made an account just to respond to this issue, as i actually managed to fix on my laptop. I had a similar issue with my Asus TUF F15 laptop: sometimes the GPU would throttle down to 307mhz when waking up from sleep mode and GPU-Z would also show nonsensical power draw...
